Alywn Hamilton’s debut novel, Rebel of the Sands, combines a hardbitten western setting and hardboiled narrative style with eastern myth and a restrictive, patriarchal social structure. Heroine Amani is an orphan forced to live in her brutal uncle’s home, in a tiny, dusty town without prospects. But she’s also a brilliant sharpshooter who dreams of using her talents […]
Rejected by their princesses and cast out of their castles, the princes stumble upon an evil plot that could endanger each of their kingdoms. Now it’s up to them to triumph over their various shortcomings, take on trolls, bandits, dragons, witches, and other assorted terrors, and become the heroes no one ever thought they could be.
Christopher Healy’s Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom is a completely original take on the world of fairy tales, the truth about what happens after “happily ever after.” It’s a must-have for middle grade readers who enjoy their fantasy adventures mixed with the humor of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Witty black-and-white drawings by Todd Harris add to the fun.
