BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Phoebe Hiller's visit to her grandmother's cottage in England is not going well. All the people in the village know who she is and fuss over her "foreign" accent and manners. It's enough to make a regular Canadian kid feel like a circus act. But one day Phoebe meets a Gypsy, a mysterious woman who seems to know all about her -- including the secret taht Phoebe has kept from the whole world. Now everything has changed.
