Love Middle Grade Actually


Because my passion is books for middle grade and young adults, and because I am completely in love with a book called, The Ninja Librarian by Rebecca M. Douglass



I reviewed her book awhile back and am looking forward to the sequel which she promises me she is making progress on, :)

Adam C.

  3. Hey there -
    just came across your blog and wanted to say how cool it is that your books feature a protagonist with cerebral palsy! This is an important (and seldom told) perspective for kids to hear as they develop into mature and empathetic young adults. I think the cerebral palsy community would love to hear about this - maybe you can share it on the CP Family Network facebook page. Anyway, keep it up - this looks awesome!
