Stand on the sky / by Bow, Erin.;
Aisulu is a Kazakh nomad girl living in Mongolia. She has always been a bit different - she likes girl things well enough and milks the yaks and fetches water as a daughter should, but she also likes math and a fast ride on her horse, Moon Spot, that she tamed herself. But when her brother Selik breaks his leg trying to catch an eagle, and is discovered to have osteosarcoma, everything changes for Aisulu. Her parents rush off to the city with Selik, leaving Aisulu to tend the herds alone. She rescues the dead eagle's chick, moves in with her aunt and her uncle, a former Burkitshi (eagle hunger), and begins to tame the eaglet, which she names Toktar. Soon it becomes clear that Aisulu and Toktar have a special bond, and her uncles begins training her to become an eagle hunter herself, even though she is a girl, and girls do not become eagle hunters. Aisulu is not sure she can do it - but when she finds out that there will be a Festival, and foreigners (from ESPN, a crew filming "the weird sports") have provided a substantial prize, Aisulu changes her mind. The prize can buy her brother an expensive prosthetic leg and allow him to run and ride again. Her uncle begins training her, Toktar and Moon Spot and her aunt enlists the women to create a suitable and special outfit for the competition, something fit for a Burkitshi. The odds are stacked against her, but Aisulu is determined to prove herself and help her family.LSC

In this oppressive environment, Saul is denied the freedom to speak his language or embrace his indigenous heritage and he witnesses all kinds of abuse at the hands of the very people who were entrusted with his care. Despite this, Saul finds salvation in the unlikeliest of places and favourite Canadian pastimes--hockey. Fascinated by the game, he secretly teaches himself how to not only play, but develops a unique and rare skill. It's as if he has eyes in the back of his head and can see the game in a way no other player can. His talent leads him away from the misery of the school to a Northern Ontario native league and eventually the pros. But the ghosts of Saul's past will always haunt him. Forced to confront painful memories and revelations, Saul draws on the spirit of his ancestors and the understanding of his friends to gain the compassion he so sorely needs in order to begin healing.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

But just as the cast and crew arrive on location in Wild River, Alaska, the leading man drops out of the production. Reporter Gus Orosco is not hiding out in Wild River--he's waiting for the dust to settle after his on-camera "overreaction" triggered by watching his ex-fiancee get engaged to a superstar hockey player. Gus doesn't want to be anywhere near the film crew shooting at his family's campgrounds, but Selena makes him an offer he can't refuse: she'll snag Gus an interview with Sports Beat if he'll be her leading man. All Gus has to do is learn his lines, hit his marks and somehow ignore the sparks flying between them...even though they're hot enough to melt the Alaskan snow. Bonus Novella Jade Frazier learns that Christmas is the season for second chances--in life as well as love--in Jennifer Snow's An Alaskan Christmas Homecoming.
