The first book in a very promising series, A Discovery of Witches opens to us a world covertly populated by three secretive and troubled races. Daemons, Vampires, and Witches all struggle in their own way to exist, half in their supernatural world and half in the human world. Having distanced herself from her heritage, historical scholar and occasional witch Diana Bishop is completely unprepared for the interest that erupts after she manages to extract and read a manuscript that seems to explain the history and nature of the races. A great blend of historical imaginings, rich and greatly varied characters, with perfectly placed amounts of action and romance, this is a book that grabs you and will definitely keep you checking back to see when the next title is announced.

Rope-making was one of the most crucial skills of California's indigenous peoples, including the Tongva who lived in our area. Rope will be made from yucca fibers, and other goods and tools made from natural resources will be shown. Younger children will enjoy leaf activities.
Native plants not only help us use water wisely, but they provide an important connection between butterflies and birds, and allow us to be in harmony with our special but fragile environment.
