Sixth Grade Girls Take on Their Worlds in Two Awesome Middle Grades Novels

by MK French

Are the kids home and bored? I highly recommend these two middle grades books. They feature strong girls and great messages for kids. The Sea of Always is book 2 in the Thirteen Witches series so if you are like me and haven't read book 1, you can get both now and that will entertain you until Winnie Zeng Unleashes a Legend publishes later this month.

The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

"I always cry at weddings.  Nothing original there,  I know - except, perhaps the reason.  I cry because I am sad.  Sad for me, sad for bride, sad for the institution of marriage.  Sad enough that it makes me cry.  I'm especially sad at this wedding." (p 1)

Trigger Point by Tony Roth ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

I try not to read similar books back to back as I can't help compare them. But sometimes it can't be helped as review copies come up. That is how I came to read Trigger Point a Cold War-era spy novel right after reading the fantastic Cold War-era spy thriller The Bucharest Dossier. And while I knew that whatever I read after that novel would probably pale in comparison, I still held out hope that Trigger Point would be an interesting and enjoyable spy novel set in Central America. I have little knowledge of the political situation in this region during the 1980s and was looking forward to expanding my knowledge.
