Middle grade and young adult authors, Kaela Rivera, Bruce Jacobs and Lyndi Allison, take you around the world as they share the mythologies they are reading and writing about in middle grade and young adult literature and tell you about what we are working on now. Rolo May said, “Myth is a way of making sense in a senseless world. Myths are narrative patterns that give significance to our existence.” Young Adult Literature, Summer Triangle, Books For Tweens, Book Talk, Middle Grades, Reading Writing, Allison

I found myself rooting for Marella, the underdog and likeable protagonist, in The Dragonaxi Challenge, by Leslie E. Heath. A supaerisi (mermaid), and a newbie to The Dragonaxi Challenge, while others have trained years for it, Marella is unprepared and the stakes are high. Heath superbly creates a beautiful and dangerous underwater world and the creatures that inhabit it. I will will read book 2 of this duology to find out how Marella trains her sweet dragon Hakkan. A highly recommended read. Young Adult Fantasy, Books To Read, The Underdogs, High Stakes, Fantasy Adventure, How To Be Likeable
