The Butterfly and the Violin by Kristy Cambron My rating: 5 of 5 stars First of all, the history I learned in this particular novel was breathtaking. I don’t think I ever tire of hearing about WWII, and it seems there is always something new to be discovered. I had no idea that Auschwitz had an orchestra, and there were […]

The story expertly shifts between the present day family scene where a fairy tale has been told and relates it to an actual story that occurred in the family life. I will be honest–I loved the family telling […]

The Girl Who Believed in Fairy Tales by Heidi Garrett My rating: 3 of 5 stars First of all, please understand that this is a collection of three short stories.

Frankie Dupont And The Mystery Of Enderby Manor by Julie Anne Grasso My rating: 4 of 5 stars I am a lover of mysteries, and all too often, it can be difficult to review young adult mysteries.

The author does an excellent job of introducing the characters and main premise behind the book. […]

So have you ever heard of this company?  Everything is gluten-free (important in this day and age) I was blessed to be […]
