BWW Review: COMPASS SOUTH by Hope Larson by Bonnie Lynn Wagner
- August 08, 2017 In high school, my favorite books were all by Tamora Pierce, beginning with her adventures about Alanna, the daring girl who switched places with her twin brother, disguised herself as a boy, and went off to learn how to be a knight while he went to the convent to study magic. Ever since, I've had a soft spot for books where the girl disguises herself as a boy and goes on to do great things. This past year at BEA, I was talking with the publicist at First Second Books, Macmillan's graphic novel arm. She told me about a really cool graphic novel series, Four Points by Hope Larson. I was sold when she mentioned pirate ships, twins, and a girl disguised as a boy!
BWW Review: STORMDANCER by Jay Kristoff by Bonnie Lynn Wagner
- August 07, 2017 Looking for a fantasy series as deadly and somber at times as Game of Thrones? Look no further because The Lotus Wars Trilogy by Jay Kristof will leave you just as emotionally wrecked as a book from George R. R. Martin does!
