Well... I'm switching gears for this post. I'm going to do a bit of promotion. Self-promotion. See, I wrote a book too. And I'm pretty proud of it.
Take a look at what some reviewers have said about Iris Brave.
In her literary debut, Ali B. has created a main character that lives up to her name. Iris has the heart of both Scout and Laura Ingalls. As engaging as Iris is, it is the cast of supporting characters and their genuine interactions with Iris that make this book a literary stand-out. The author puts these well-developed characters into a twenty-first century plot that will make this book a page-turner for upper elementary school students.
As an elementary school teacher, I had the opportunity to share this story with some of my students. It kept them all so engaged, and I found both my students and I couldn't wait to pick it up again the next day. I grew up in the Midwest, and the descriptions the author used remind me so much of my childhood. I can't wait to read and share her next installment in the series!
Iris Brave is one of my favorite books and I think everyone should get a chance to read it. It is realistic with just enough magic to make it fun and if you like mysteries this book is for you. Once I picked it up I could not put it down and however soon the next book comes out it will not be soon enough. It is a great book.

Iris Brave is a page-turner. As an avid reader, I have read quite a few series. This book keeps the reader, adult and older children alike, wanting to find out what happens next. The main character is a young girl that has a lot of spunk and strong morals. She is desperately trying to solve a mystery that has upset the lives of her family and close friends. She wants to find out the truth about her dad. I highly recommend this book and know that it will keep the reader in suspense.
