The education of Aubrey McKee / by Pugsley, Alex,1963-author.;
"A young writer finds his way in and out of love in late twentieth-century Toronto. The scene is Toronto, early 1990s, and Aubrey McKee has fallen in love with a bewitching stranger, a poet who talks him into stealing her a piece of cake from a party and quickly becomes the person for whom he would do anything at all. As their relationship deepens and their creative and professional lives stumble, stall, then suddenly ignite, Aubrey and Gudrun struggle against their own limitations--as well as each other's. Prefaced by a short story and concluded with a play, The Education of Aubrey McKee is the much-anticipated continuation of Alex Pugsley's debut Aubrey McKee, a campus novel in which the city of Toronto itself is the institute of higher education, and a glittering story about learning how to love."--

All that grows / by Wong, Jack,1985-;
"A boy discovers he has much to learn while observing plants with his older sister -- a story about cultivating patience and letting knowledge grow. As a boy walks around the neighborhood with his older, green-thumbed sister, she tells him all about the plants they see -- magnolias that smell like lemon cake, quince trees that will bloom the most beautiful red, daffodils that are the flower of Mother's Day, and even dandelions, whose greens can be eaten with spaghetti! How does his sister know so much? And how can she tell whether a plant is a flower, vegetable or weed, anyway? The boy's head spins as he realizes how vast the universe is and how much there is to learn ... until he resolves to let his knowledge grow in its own way and time, just like the mysterious plants he has decided to nurture in the garden."--

Burning daylight / by Johnstone, William W.; Johnstone, J. A.;
"Luke Jensen has seen some sorry looking bounties in his time, but this one takes the cake. A wanted poster is offering a reward of one dollar and forty-two cents--plus one busted harmonica--to capture Three-Fingered Jack McKinney. Turns out, McKinney's twelve-year-old son Aaron wants revenge on his daddy for abandoning him and his mom. The reward is all the money Aaron can scrape together. Luke can't say no to the poor boy--or his beautiful mother--so he agrees to go after McKinney and his bank-robbing gang. Good deeds, however, are like good intentions--the road to hell is paved with them. And when Aaron McKinney decides to tag along, it puts Luke in the middle of a father-and-son reunion that's life-or-death, blood-for-blood, and kill-or-be-killed."--
