A note from the publisher
Dear Reader,
This fall, Second Story has many excellent books for young people heading into the classroom.
It’s a time for fun and optimism, for looking forward to learning, inspiration, and days with
friends. Sadly, along with the fear and disruption the pandemic has brought, the evils of hate
have come out of the shadows. Incidents of racism against many communities, anti-Semitism,
ableism, and anti-LGBTQ+ violence have dramatically increased in schools. Yes, children are
drawing swastikas in classrooms, teachers of color are being threatened, and incidents of
Islamophobia and all forms of bullying have found a place in the lives of our youth.
Educators and parents are fighting back. And more than ever, publishers are creating literature
for young people that addresses issues of hate. Writers from many communities are sharing
stories and experiences that celebrate our differences while exploring the consequences of hate,
and helping young readers understand the suffering it causes for each of us, as well as for our
friends, classmates, and neighbors.
In this vein, our fall list is filled with stories that combat prejudice with love, acceptance, and
celebration. From Phoenix Gets Greater, a stunning picture book by a mother and her Two Spirit
son, to the fourth installment in the Mighty Muskrats Mystery Series, to an inspiring YA nonfiction
that profiles some lesser-known heroines of the Holocaust. Our adult program is perfectly
complementary: Fractured, a memoir by Susan Mockler, explores the challenges that come
with a sudden, life-changing physical disability, and award-winning
author Karin Wells’ new book, More Than a Footnote, highlights the

Hidden on the High Wire
WRITTEN BY KATHY KACER
In the summer of 1941, Irene must perform the most
perilous balancing act of her life….
Irene grew up traveling around Germany with her family’s circus,
surrounded by her loved ones and thrilling the crowds with her
performance on the high wire...until one day, the audience boos.
The Lorch family is Jewish, and the increasing power of Adolf
Hitler’s Nazis has put them all in grave danger.
When the circus is forced to shut down and Irene’s father is taken
away, Irene and her mother must go into hiding with another
circus. Every day is a frightening new kind of balancing act,
caught between the desire to perform and the need to hide—
even in plain sight.
KATHY KACER’S books have won a number of awards, including
the Silver Birch and the Jewish Book Award. A former psychologist,
Kathy now travels the globe speaking to children and adults about the
importance of keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive. Kathy lives in

Fractured
a memoir
WRITTEN BY SUSAN MOCKLER
“Somehow it was easier to be inside the injury.
Not to see what was visible on the outside.
I knew I was still here.”
A collision with a moose on a dark highway left Susan Mockler
with an incomplete spinal injury, suddenly compromising her
ability to walk and to care for herself. She spent months in a
rehabilitation facility learning how to adjust to her new reality,
and though her body partially recovered, every aspect of her
life changed.
Fractured is a compelling illumination of the challenges of
acquired disability and the ways in which people with disabilities
are sidelined and infantilized. Mockler, a psychotherapist, speaks
with frank honesty about her family and friends’ reactions to her
injury, and the hard-won lessons that she and those around her
learned from her experience.

Canadian Women You Should Know

There are women throughout Canada's history who when faced
with a locked door, have looked for a key—or a battering ram.
Award-winning writer Karin Wells tells the stories of women
like the fierce and iconoclastic Mina Benson Hubbard, who
finished the mission to map northern Labrador that had killed
her explorer husband, and Vera Peters, MD, who revolutionized
treatments for Hodgkins lymphoma and breast cancer. Or
Margaret Keiko Lyons—exiled to the prairies during WWII as
part of Canada’s racist policies towards Japanese Canadians,
she went on to lead a radio revolution in the 1970s. And have
you heard of Charlotte Small, a Métis woman who canoed and
trekked 48,000 km—more than three times further than the
American explorers Lewis and Clark—and had five babies along
the way? Some were outrageous, some were unassuming, most
were not polite, but they all ignored the voices that said women

When Women Shut Down Government
in the Battle for the Right to Choose
WINNER OF THE ALISON PRENTICE AWARD 2020-21 (ONTARIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY)
“One irresistible story from the journey towards women owning their own bodies.”
—Gloria Steinem
In 1970, seventeen women set out from Vancouver in a big yellow convertible, a
Volkswagen bus, and a pickup truck. It was called the Abortion Caravan. Five thousand
kilometers later, they led a rally of 500 women on Parliament Hill in Ottawa and shut down
parliament—the first and only time this was accomplished.
