I'm enjoying the Fallout TV show! The Fallout games, and their wacky 'decomposing 1950s' certainly had an influence on the sinister nuclear village in my novel The Doom Town Dummies. 🪐🤠🚀🔫💀 #TheDoomTownDummies #Fallout #middlegrade #middlegradebook #middlegradebooks #illustration #writing #mglit

🌈♾️Graphic Novel Book Club - April🌈♾️ . April’s theme was a graphic novel with neurodiverse characters. Since it is also Autism Acceptance Month, I chose to read books with autistic MCs. 🥰 . 👻🎢👹DeadEndia: Vol. 1-3, Hamish Steele👹🎢👻 I am a DeadEndia super fan, in case y’all didn’t know and I had to do a reread of volumes 1 and 2 before volume 3 came out. It was so amazing to dive back into this world. This series is just so comforting despite the apocalypses in the book. I love how queer and diverse all the characters are! The found family aspect is next level! And UGH! I just know this is a series I’ll always love and come back to forever! 😌🫶 . ⚠️SPOILER for book 3: I loved this ending so much! I’m so happy to see where our characters ended up and I loved the inclusion of the polycule between Barney, Logs, and Asmodeus. I am also so happy Badyah figured herself out and began to date Norma! I love them together so much! I’m glad this found family made it to the end and finally get to be happy together! 🥰 . 🎤🌈Speak Up!, Rebecca Burgess🌈🎤 This has been on my TBR forever it seems, so I’m happy I was finally able to read it! This instantly became a new all-time favorite! 🥰 The autism rep in this is so well done! I’m so happy this book is available for kids to read! I felt seen a lot throughout the book and just loved our MC Mia! I also love the inclusion of Mia’s nonbinary best friend Charlie! I didn’t know this was going to have queer rep going in so it was a wonderful surprise! 🫶 I love the aspect of Mia being this shy girl at school, but secretly being a popular singer online! This book reminded me a lot of Radio Silence by Alice Oseman with the secret identity vibe as well as Hannah Montana. This was such a fun read and as much as I hated the bullying aspect, it’s a real thing that happens to a lot of autistic kids and I think it can provide a valuable lesson to kids and its inclusion in the story is important. I definitely recommend it and will be rereading it in the future! ☺️

The thank you cards from Walbridge Elementary today were next level. (Note to self: next time I craft a thank you letter, be sure to add googly eyes and feathers!) Was very honored to be, I discovered, their very first visiting author ever. Whew! Really hope I live up to everyone’s expectations, but I can tell you that they far surpassed mine. Huge thank you to the organizers of #clairesday2024 for making this happen. #clairesday #clairesdaybookfest #clairesdaybookfest2024 #walbridgeelementary #authorvisit #authorvisits #schoolvisit #schoolvisits #mglit #kidlit #middlegrade #toledoohio
📕 Book Review ~ Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson 📚 The was the FOMO Bookclub book for March and April so I will be talking about it in full over on @spreadbookjoy on YouTube with Jack and my fellow host @gemofbooks on Friday night. There will be spoilers in the discussion, so do join us if you’ve read the book. This is a middle grade following a young boy Jesse and a friend that he makes at school. It follows the two of them as his friendship with Leslie grows and they create a hideout and a magical land called Terabithia. This made me cry. Even though I think I knew it was a sad book and had seen the sadness coming, it still hit me. Although this pulled on my heartstrings, I didn’t love the writing style, particularly earlier on in the book. Overall, a good quick read that will make you feel so many things. #fomobookclub #bookstagram #bookreview #booktube #bridgetoterabithia #sadbooks #aprilreads #2024reads #middlegrade #booksbooksbooks #bookclubreads

Shamus the Urban Rez Dog P.I. by Leslie Gentile is a hilarious new middle grade mystery. 🐕 Three things we ❤️ about this book: - The cover by Julie McLaughlan captures the tone of the story to perfection. Leslie Gentile writes from Shamus’ perspective giving readers some really funny moments of dog behaviour. - The story addresses some of the micro aggressions that Indigenous people constantly face. With Mom being the first suspect on the list, the children are the heroes, along with Shamus, in clearing her name and getting to the bottom of the crime. - The relationships in the story are wonderful. The coming together of community, the celebration of cultural practices like the silversmith jewelry, and the treating of neighbours as family are all on display and an excellent reminder to readers about the importance of community care. 🐕 Shamus the Urban Rez Dog P.I. is a middle grade mystery for readers ages 8 and up and could easily become a beloved series. 🐕 Full thoughts from the link in my bio. 🐕 #BookishCanadians #KidsBookstagram #IReadCanadian #RaiseAReader #StorytimeWithStephanie #ShamusTheUrbanRezDogPI #Mystery #MiddleGrade #IdigenousPeople #Community
We're three weeks away from my third novel, THE TRUTH ABOUT TRIANGLES, being out in the world! 🍕 🎉 I hope you're ready to crave all the pizza! To celebrate, I'm thrilled to share another fabulous blurb from award-winning author @katrynwrites. I'm a HUGE fan of her Drew Leclair books, and I'm so excited for her latest novel, WE ARE NOT ALONE, which will be out this fall. (I read an early copy, and you do NOT want to miss this book! It's SO good!) Thank you, Katryn, for your kind words about TRIANGLES! Here's a little more about THE TRUTH ABOUT TRIANGLES: A heartfelt contemporary middle grade novel perfect for fans of Front Desk, following Luca Salvatore, a young gay Italian American trying to save his family’s pizza restaurant and a life that feels like it’s falling apart after he learns that his parents may be separating and his first crush and best friend might be into each other. Twelve-year-old Luca Salvatore is always running interference: in arguments between his younger twin siblings, in his parents’ troubled marriage, and between Will, the cute new boy in town, and Luca’s best friend, June, who just can’t seem to get along. When the host of his favorite culinary TV show announces an open call for submissions for its final season, Luca is sure getting his family's failing pizzeria on the show will save it and bring his falling-apart family together. Surprisingly, securing a spot is easier than kneading dough—but when the plan to fix everything comes out burned, Luca is left scrambling to figure out just the right recipe to bring his family and his friends back together. From Lambda Literary finalist Michael Leali, The Truth About Triangles is full of heart, perfect for readers of Lisa Jenn Bigelow, Kelly Yang, and Maulik Pancholy. @harperkids @theshelfstuff @saracrowelit #thetruthabouttriangles #middlegrade #middlegradefiction #mgfiction #mgbooks #middlegradebooks #mglit #kidlit #books #bookstagram #booksofig #teachersofig #librariansofig #lgbtq #lgbtqbooks #writingcommunity #writersofig

🕰️ The Clockwork Conspiracy⏱️ - BOOK REVIEW - AD | PR #gifted @bloomsburychildrens 📚 ▫️Author: @samsedgman ▫️Illustrator: Stephanie Shafer ▫️Reading age: Year 6+ 📖 ▫️Summary: This is Sam’s first solo novel and wow it has blown me away! Filled with amazing facts and information about time as well as the workings of parliament, I genuinely learnt so much from reading this story! The fast paced plot made it a page turner and I loved the fact it was split into 60 chapters like 60 minutes/seconds. Isaac’s Dad is the horologist in charge of Big Ben and he has gone missing! Isaac and his new friend Hattie, daughter of the speaker, hunt down a trail of clues to uncover the plot in a race against time! 📚 ▫️Likes: - A truly amazing and unique storyline! - Brilliant for children who love action, adventure and science. - Fast paced and action packed! - We had the opportunity to speak to @samsedgman all about the book, so check out my reels/lives to watch it back! 📚 ▫️Star rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 📚 📚 📚 #books #kidslit #teacherswhoread #readingforpleasure #rfp #bookstagram #reading #toberead #tbr #bookreview #teachersofinstagram #teachersofthegram #teacher #teaching #primary #primaryteacher #follow #learning #education #bookworm #booklover #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookreview #review #readinglead #theclockworkconspiracy #samsedgman #middlegrade #actionbook
✨Book Quotes✨ Janitors 2, New Forest Academy by Tyler Whitesides @tywhitesides As an educator, mom, and lifelong learner, this quote hits hard! We see it all the time, the effects of undereducated populations. They are found in every corner of the world. Knowledge truly is power, and we must continue to advocate for accessibility to that knowledge. I am LOVING this series. My 10yo son is a self-proclaimed “non-reader”, but he is a lover of stories and snuggles, so he lets me read to him. And guess what he did? HE READ THE LAST 20 PAGES WITHOUT ME! He couldn’t wait to know the ending. 😅 Honestly, proud mom moment, and a tribute to Whitesides’ storytelling. Excited to find out what happens in book 3! #bookstagram #audiobookstagram #maddieraereads2024 #momswhoread #fightforeducation #knowledgeispower #bookquotes #janitorsbookseries #newforestacademy #readwithyourkids #middlegrade #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction

For the last day of poetry month, a tribute to the serendipity of the writing process. Stuck, I took a wander. At @bookworkspg I stumbled across this little notebook. Purple with birds. Phee needs this notebook, I thought. She could write poems. I bought it. I wrote poems in it. The story cracked open for me again as Phee began writing in her notebook, purple with birds, a poem notebook.

So, the good news is that it looks as though I may have sold a few copies today, as 'WARNING: Magic Can Be Dangerous!' has jumped from 987th to 77th in Magical Realist Fiction for Young Adults on Amazon.co.uk. But the bad news is that it’s now showing delivery for further sales won’t be until 20th May at the earliest!!!

Only a few days left to snag #RoadTripRescue book 2 by @beccawierwille on Kickstarter! I had the awesome privilege of reading/critiquing books 1 and 2 during development. (And I'm reading book 3 right now! 🤫 eeee!) My favorite thing about Becca's books is how she makes the heart of her kid characters so genuine, relatable, and nuanced. If you have kids between the ages of 8-12 who love realistic stories, great sibling relationships, or kids working out their faith, you seriously need to give this series a try. Just search "Road Trip Rescue" on Kickstarter.com. Campaign ends in TWO DAYS so grab it now! #middlegrade #christianmiddlegrade #christianbooksforkids #beccawierwille

When Nathaniel Fludd is notified that both of his parents are missing—presumed dead—he goes to live with his Aunt Phil. When Nathaniel arrives at his new home, he discovers his aunt is eccentric and lives with a real dodo bird! Aunt Phil reveals to Nathaniel that as a Fludd, he’s a Beastologist, a caretaker for all the “mythical” creatures worldwide. A Phoenix? It’s real, and it’s about to lay an egg. Nathaniel and Aunt Phil are off to make sure the Phoenix hatching goes well! This book is perfect for fans of Harry Potter…although Nathaniel Fludd isn’t as dark as the latter Harry Potter books. It’s lighthearted and relatively short. Nathaniel Fludd: Flight of the Phoenix is the first book in a four book series. If you wanted to recommend a book to middle graders who like Harry Potter, what would you recommend?

Available now! Join Lusi and her sister on an adventure that takes them halfway across the world, befriending dragons, ghosts and powerful wizards as they try to save themselves and the rest of their family from Uncle's terrible scheming. Lusi can see ghosts. And that’s only the beginning of her problems. Lusi is a perfectly normal 12-year-old wizard except for the part where she can talk to ghosts. But everyone knows ghosts aren’t real, so at best they think Lusi is lying and at worst that she’s lost her mind. Her big sister Marsi is the only one who believes her, but Marsi is running away to escape Uncle’s terrible plan to make her marry his creepy nephew. Lusi can’t imagine being separated from her sister and leaves behind the rest of their family to flee with Marsi via merchant caravan to the Wizards Guild for help. All their plans are dashed to pieces when Uncle catches up to them in a matter of days. Uncle’s connections to powerful wizards make him far more dangerous than Lusi initially realized. But Lusi isn’t crazy or a freak for talking to ghosts: she’s a necromancer! Marsi is worried—they’ve always been told that necromancers are monsters. Lusi needs to learn more to set both their minds at ease. She must enlist the help of a ghost girl, a dragon, and a strange wizard from the other side of the world if she wants to control her unusual talents and keep her family safe. #writinglife #writersofinstagram #amwriting #authorlife #indieauthor #selfpub #writingcommunity #author #writer #writersgoals #writing #fantasywriter #fantasywritersofinstagram #ghosts #necromancer #dragons #magic #fantasybook #fantasy #lgbtbookstagram #lgbtbooks #lgbtauthor #queerartist #queerauthor #books #bookstagram #middlegrade #middlegradefantasy #middlegradebooks #kidlit

Note from the Author: I will spend the next few newsletters modifying the introduction to Cornelia Cornflower. I will post the full chapter book this weekend. Cornelia did not always live on the island. She is from the mainland. She used to live in a tall brick apartment building in the middle of the city on the mainland. Her parents are newscasters, and they are always busy with the news. #Read the rest on #substack #MiddleGrade #MGBooks #MiddleGradeReads #TweenReads

Some time ago, @bintyounus approached me about writing Ramadan-related stories for @muslimmatters. The idea of a Muslim retelling of “Beauty and the Beast” had been playing around in my head for some time, and this opportunity was just the catalyst. This story is probably my favorite fairytale ever, as well as my favorite movie. The original tale was written by a woman, talks about tazkiyyah, and shows what really makes a person worth marrying! How could I not hold it so dear? So, I’m elated to announce Part 1 of “Bismillah, the Beast”—a story with Moroccan souqs, a Muslimah artist, and a fearsome werehyena. You can read it now on the MuslimMatters website. #Muslim #BeautyAndTheBeast #Retelling #ShortStories #Fairytales #Bookstagram #Writer #Fantasy #YA #MG #YoungAdult #MiddleGrade
Last week some of our improvisers had the MOST FUN EVER as we were given the honour of being guest presenters at @ecole_oriole_park_school ‘s Young Writers’ and Creators’ Conference.

But first, she needs to get off the streets. When Scoob lands a paying gig, she thinks her luck is about to change—she now has the chance to play in front of a famous band leader with his own TV show. This could be her big break! But Scoob’s older brother, RC, drags his little sister along on an unwelcome road trip. Broke and unable to afford food, Scoob and RC “borrow” gas along the way until they find themselves stuck in the small town of Rexburg, Idaho. The idyllic farming community is buzzing with controversy over a newly built dam, with residents divided over the safety of the structure. Stranded in the tiny town and pestered by a growing group of well-meaning locals, Scoob tries her best to get back home to California and her audition, struggling to understand why her brother doesn’t seem to want to leave. RC is hiding something, and Scoob soon discovers he isn’t being honest with her. On a warm summer morning, a heartbroken Scoob decides to head home on her own, but that very day, Rexburg’s new dam springs a leak. Within a few short hours, a wall of water is rushing toward the tiny town, destroying everything in its path. Scoob must fight for her life and face mounting odds as she tries to decide what really matters.
✨️RELEASE DAY✨️ Shadow Spark's @rosalind_dando debuts with A GIFT OF WORDS, our very first middle grade series! Check out the blurb below and follow the link in our bio for more! ✨️BLURB✨️ Cam has plenty of things to worry about. His best friend might have broken someone’s fingers, the class bully won’t leave him alone, and staying under the radar of his teachers is much harder than it ought to be. He definitely doesn’t need magic to make his life any more complicated. Which is good, because when he does write his name in Libris Sapientia—the book of wisdom—a whole lot of nothing happens. He is a failure, and even a book agrees. Then, Loman Lykill joins their class, bringing a whole new brand of chaos to Highgrove Secondary. Cam has his magical gift, whether he wants it or not. #releaseday #newrelease #readersofinsta #readersofinstagram #fantasy #fantasybooks #middlegradefantasy #middlegrade #middlegradebooks #shadowsparkpublishing #shadowsparkpub #AGiftOfWords
One of my most highly anticipated releases! It says online: “In this twisty middle grade mystery for fans of Knives Out, The Inheritance Game, and The Westing Game, thirteen-year-old twins Hope and Gordon enter a spelling bee in a last-ditch effort to save their family from financial ruin, only to find themselves in a cut-throat competition to uncover a fortune and dark secrets about the wealthy relations they’ve never known.” Sounds INCREDIBLE! BEAUTIFUL cover by @_francis.co too!💜 Synopsis: Hope Smith can’t stand rich people—the dictionary magnate family the Wintertons most of all. Not since she and her twin brother, Gordon, learned that their dad was one. So when Gordon enters the family into the Winterton’s charity spelling bee, Hope wants nothing to do with it. But with their mom losing her job and the family facing eviction from the motel where they live, they desperately need the money, and it looks like Hope doesn’t have much of a choice. After winning the preliminary round, the Smiths are whisked to Winterton Chalet to compete in the official Winterton Bee against their long-lost relatives. Hope wants to get in and out, beat the snobbish family at their own game, and never see them again. But deceased matriarch Jane Winterton had other plans for this final family showdown. Before her death, she set up a clue hunt throughout the manor—an alternate way for Hope and Gordon to get the money that could change their lives. Still, others are on the trail, too. With tensions at an all-time high, a fortune at stake, and long-simmering family secrets about to boil to the surface, anything could happen. #thewintertondeception #finalword #janetsumnerjohnson #franciscofonseca #pixelandink #pixelandinkbooks #middlegrade #middlegradebooks #middlegradereads #middlegradeillustration #middlegradecovers #middlegradefiction #middlegraderealisticfiction #middlegradecontemporary #middlegrademystery #middlegradeadventure #middlegradefamily #middlegradedetective #mglit #mgbooks #mgbookstagram #mgreads #middlegrademarch #kidsbook #kidsbookstagram #ireadmg #mostanticipatedbooks #booktuber #bookstagrammer #booklover @janetsumnerjohnson @pixelandinkbks

FINN AND EZRA’s BAR MITZVAH TIME LOOP by Joshua Levy @joshuaslevy Coming soon, May 14, 2024! Thank you Josh Levy, @harperkids and @katherinetegenbooks for an opportunity to read this. Recommended for ages 9 up. Short synopsis: Finn and Ezra’s bar mitzvah weekend takes on a Groundhog Day twist in this hilarious and magical middle grade novel. My thoughts: This book was so clever and so much fun!, with some great themes about friendship, family, and facing fears. Finn and Ezra are two 13 year olds celebrating their bar mitzvahs at the same hotel during the same weekend. And both of them are stuck in a groundhog day-like time loop where the same weekend repeats itself over and over and over again. The story alternates between Finn and Ezra’s POVs. Finn is an only child and discovers Ezra first. Ezra is the middle child of five children in a more orthodox family, and is often overlooked in all that is happening. The two of them join forces and come up with a number of zany schemes to break free. Both of their personalities and their family stories shine through. And both learn a very valuable lesson and what’s truly important in life and in family. Phenomenal jewish rep, 2 male MCs, and a whole lot of fun, this is a great book to add to home and classroom libraries! QOTD: Have you read any books featuring time loops?

Q: Do you have any pets? What kind? Featured here is my fluffy boy, Malakai. I also have 3 dogs, an English bulldog and 2 shih tzus named Daisy, Maddie and Lexi. In this stand-alone novel with themes of friendship and family, twelve-year-old Elsby discovers a family of talking cats living in the house next door and must help them harness the magic that made them that way. From the author of the acclaimed Coo, The Cats of Silver Crescent is for fans of Kathi Appelt and Katherine Applegate. Title: The Cats of Silver Crescent Author: Kaela Noel @_kaelanoel_ The link is in my bio. ✨️Synopsis With her mother busy traveling for work, Elsby isn’t thrilled to be spending a few weeks with her great-aunt Verity. Luckily, she has her notebook and a lush garden to sketch to help pass the time. But a visitor takes Elsby by surprise: a cat standing on its two hind legs and dressed like a sailor dashes across the garden and into the neighboring woods! Elsby can’t believe her eyes, and she can't imagine that Aunt Verity would believe her, either. But that night, the cat and three of his cat companions approach Elsby. They need Elsby’s help. While the cats can talk, think, and behave like humans, the magical spell that made them that way will revert if it’s not renewed soon. Elsby might be the only one who can save them—but every enchantment comes at a price.

A pesar de su fama, la valiente niña Malvarina decide que quiere ser una de ellas y se presenta en su puerta para que le enseñen. Para conseguirlo, las brujas le proponen una serie de pruebas pero parece que las cosas no salen como pensaban: Malvarina acoge de mascota a un conejo en lugar de a un gato, su primera poción huele como golosinas... ¿Conseguirá su propósito? 🤍𝗟𝗼 𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘀 Vaya por delante que amo las historias de brujas, así que desde el minuto uno sabía que tanto yo como mi niña íbamos a disfrutar de esta historia y así ha sido.

“…a memorable collection of short stories ‘about middle-school kids who discover in themselves some sort of small superpower.’ And by ‘small,’ the authors took this assignment seriously….[T]hese are not your run-of-the-mill, cape-and-tights-clad superheroes. These are kids with relatable struggles learning to embrace that quirky bit of themselves that makes them unique….” 13 independent and empathetic short stories showcase the range of seriously talented contributors in this middle grade pick that’s more than a little bit super at confidence-building during a developmentally fraught phase, and the full (starred) review is in Booklist! 🦹🏻♀️ A LITTLE BIT SUPER: WITH SMALL POWERS COME BIG PROBLEMS, ed. by @leahs_mark & Gary D.

Some stories never leave us. 📚 We carry them with us like our paperback hearts, dog-eared from move after move, but so precious we can never quite bear to leave them behind. 📚 Why do we do it? Even if we don’t keep the paper copies, we carry these stories around inside of us and share them with others whenever we can. What is it that makes a story stay with us? ⚔️ The courage they inspire? 🌻 The beauty they remind us of? ✨ The wonder of another world? ❤️🩹 The compassion of the characters? 🔥 The hope they rekindle in our hearts? 💕 Pure and unashamed comfort, like coming home again after all this time? Four the fourth time in just over a year, my books are packed up and ready to move again. There are books in these boxes I’ve been carrying around with me for over twenty years. Many of them, I’ll carry for twenty years more and maybe even twenty after that. New can be fun and exciting, but there’s something so special about stories that last deep in our hearts long after we first read them. 📚 What is one story that has always stayed with you? 📚 #storiesthatstaywithyou #storylove #storyheart #paperbackheart #stories #booklove #bookdragon #bookstagram #readaloud #cleanreads #familyreads #bibliophile #embersgram #mgreads #middlegrade #middlegradefantasy #herewegoagain #authorconservatory #readersofinstagram #reading #courage #compassion #hope #comfort #comfortreads #library #homelibrary

#Repost @mychapterbookheart with @use.repost ・・・ Jeremy Jubaya has the gift of the gab, and where better to showcase his spooky storytelling than around the campfire at school camp? With fearless pocket rocket, Samantha Small and big softie Bad Boris by his side, Jeremy weaves his blood-curdling tale about the Dreaded Mr Snipe into camp life… but what if it’s not just an urban legend? Blending pages of narration in a graphic novel format and with skilful and engaging black and white illustrations, the spooky tale of Mr Snipe and the tale of the kids at camp unroll side by side with a few twists and turns. With a mix of clever writing rich in fabulously descriptive simile and metaphor and with the gross kind of humour that kids love, this new release is an intrigue-filled page-turner. •URBAN LEGEND HUNTERS •Written by Joel McKerrow •Illustrated by Wayne Bryant •Cover and text design by Sarah Mawer •Published by Larrikin House, 2024 Thank you to the author for the review copy of this book. @joelmckerrowwriter @wayne_bryant_illustrator @larrikinhouse @sarahmawergraphics #urbanlegendhunters #mychapterbookheart ⠀ #middlegrade ⠀ #middlegradelit ⠀ #middlegradebook ⠀ #middlegradenovels ⠀ #middlegradeliterature ⠀ #middlegradebookstagram ⠀ #loveozmg

Adia Kelbara and the Circle of Shamans by Isi Hendrix is a truly magical read. In this middle grade Afrofantasy, Adia is a 12-year-old girl who enters the prestigious Academy of Shamans not as a student, but as an apprentice cook. She believes she is demon-possessed – a fact drummed into her head by her family due to her having magical powers she cannot control. Hoping to find a cure at the Academy, her envy of the students soon turns to disgust when she discovers what sort of shamans they really are. Her fortunes take a turn when she stumbles upon deadly secrets involving gods and demons, and she embarks on a perilous journey to save herself, only to find out that her real quest is to save the world. The world that Hendrix builds is fascinating, with nature-based magic and otherworldly domains, but the chief draw for me is Adia herself - a delightfully flawed heroine. Growing up bullied and discriminated against, she is prickly, overly-suspicious by nature, and too independent for her own good. There is much room for her to grow, and I’m excited to see how she turns out by the end of the series! The companions she picks up on her adventures also have their own idiosyncrasies, and the banter between them adds a lightness to the heavy threat that hangs over them. While children can read this book simply as a fantasy adventure wherein the evil is a demon, the more mature reader would recognise the story as a strong indictment of how colonialism can destroy communities from the inside out by indoctrination. Highly recommend! @isihendrix #bookrecommendations #AdiaKelbaraandtheCircleofShamans #Isihendrix #MGfantasy #MG #middlegradefantasy #middlegrade #Afrofantasy
