How to Write a Historical Novel and Love it

How To Write A Historical Novel And Love It by T.L. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I picked up this book, as I do have a penchant for writing and I was really inspired and impressed with this book. The author has put in a lot of hard work to list out a check list based on her own years of experience.
The points she details out to consider when writing the historic novel, like, when, what happened during the period, could be a change of power or natural calamities and research on what would be appealing to the audience at that point of time. The book also details out the process of writing a novel, pointers from the conception to research, writing, editing, publishing and a lot more.
This book contains a plethora of valuable information and I think I will place an order for a printed copy very soon.

Saving the Gingerbread House

saving the gingerbread house by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a very nice twist to the original fairy tale. I picked this book because my son’s friends did a retelling of the fairy tale in a competition, where the witch becomes a vegan. It was a delight to read this book, where the kids reach the witch’s house and realize that she is wanting to win the most beautiful house award in a competition but because of animals and kids nibbling pieces of the house, she is in trouble. She then puts the kids to work.

I have read many books from Lois Wickstrom and it is always a delight. I enjoy her books

A dress to remember

 Author : K.L. Small (Goodreads Author),  Brandon Dorman (Illustrator)

Princess Zarina wants a dress to remember for her Royal Advancement Ceremony. She works with a special dressmaker to get a magical dress. The dress is magical indeed, but not the way she wants. Princess Zarina thinks a lot about herself and does not care much for people around her. When the kingdom is attacked, she must spring to action and save herself and the kingdom.  Can she make some choices for others for a change? Will the magical dress help her?

The story is delightful and as it progresses, the complex character of the main protagonist emerges. Many middle school students can relate to this character.

I really enjoyed reading this book.
