March's selection is the first in Orson Scott Card's "Seventh Son." It's the first installment in Card's Alvin Maker series, which currently stands at six books. (Card has hinted more may be on the way....)

From the author of Ender's Game, an unforgettable story about young Alvin Maker: the seventh son of a seventh son. Born into an alternative frontier America where life is hard and folk magic is real, Alvin is gifted with the power. He must learn to use his gift wisely. But dark forces are arrayed against Alvin, and only a young girl with second sight can protect him.
