Dive into the mythological world of the Warriors and Watchers saga, in the first installment titled Evil Speaks. This captivating tale focuses on a group of teens, who come from very different backgrounds, who all have a disability or little quirk of some kind.
I jumped at the opportunity to review this book because of my own son, Noah, who has high functioning autism. I’m so glad I did, this book not only showed me that no matter the obstacle in front of you, you can do anything. As a mother, a caregiver, it also showed me, I am and my son is tougher than anyone will ever know. And it’s up to us, all of us, to show that to the world.

For the Scribe of God and a book hoarding angel, Curtis Armstrong gets the last word in his upcoming memoir.
There is nothing that excites a reader more than to become so invested in a book that she forgets that she is reading and instead feels as if she is experiencing the journey alongside the characters. JB Coffman’s Dead Club: The Case of the Sad Girl is a perfect example of a book that transcends the passive act of reading by convincing the reader that she has an emotional stake in the outcome.
There is the fallacy on the part of some readers to dismiss books that belong to the Young Adult (YA) genre as lacking the literary sophistication of works intended for mature audiences. Perhaps there is a hesitancy in investing time in YA books for fear that the characters and plot won’t connect with the reader due to an unfair belief that tale is too simplistic. How could teen characters possess the emotional maturity to carry an intense plot? If anything, I applaud YA authors: YA authors often place their young characters in incredible situations and leave them to their own resources to confront these battles.
