The Rebel Romanov: Julie of Saxe-Coburg, the Empress Russia Never Had by Helen Rappaport is a historical biography, which reads like a novel and clearly illustrates the strength and courage of a woman who makes some strong choices for herself.
And They Were Roommates by Page Powars is a story of second chance at love …for two 15-year-olds. No thanks.
The High Dive by Chelsea Fagan is a quick and easy read for the beach or pool but is ultimately pretty forgettable.
The Dragon’s Apprentice by James Riley is a great Middle Grade story about telling the truth, standing up for what’s right, and being a great friend.
