Title: The Co-Walkers Awakening

Author: Hermine G. Steinberg

Book Blurb:

Could life get any worse for Ashley, Brian, and Matthew? Their father abandoned them, they’ve been shipped off to live with a total stranger, and now they’ve discovered that everything they’ve ever learned about the world is a lie!

But to find the truth, they will have to battle evil faeries, risk their lives to claim magical talismans, and earn the respect of Elves who have vowed to kill them. Will they be able to prove that they are the legendary Co-Walkers who are able to travel between the Earthly and Faery Realms? Or are they merely pawns caught in the midst of a dangerous conspiracy that could lead to the destruction of both their worlds? It’s up to Ashley, Brian, and Matthew to discover their unique abilities and restore what magick alone cannot repair.

Title: Kwirky: The Kid Detective with a Different Perspective

Author: Russell Kane

Book Blurb:

Fifth grader Daniel Kwirk is known around Duckworth Elementary School as “Kwirky” (which sounds like “Quirky”) because he thinks and acts differently than most kids his age. His Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, causes him sometimes to be a bit clumsy, not pay attention and have way too much energy for certain occasions. But Daniel has so much more to offer than what people give him credit for. He is intelligent, perceptive and always wants to do the right thing. These attributes help Daniel, with the assistance of his precocious younger sister, Hayley, find clues to discover the theft of valuable gold and silver coins at a local Civil War exhibit and help police track down the culprits. Daniel’s unconventional approach to everyday life, while frustrating at times, proves to be extremely useful as only someone with Daniel’s unique perspective could have cracked this case.

Current Price on Amazon: $5.98

Title: Confessions of a Corn Kid

Author: Marcy Blesy (cover art by Amy Kuhl Cox)

Book Blurb:

Twelve-year-old Bernie Taylor doesn’t fit in. She wants to be an actress but not your typical country-music lovin’, beef-eatin’ actress you’d expect from Cornville, Illinois. No way. She wants to go to Chicago to be a real actress, just like her mom did before she died of breast cancer. Bernie keeps a journal that her Mom gave her and writes down all her confessions, the deepest feelings of her heart, ’cause she doesn’t want any of those regrets Mom talked about. Regrets sound too much like those bubbly blisters she keeps getting on her feet from trying to fit into last year’s designer knock-off shoes. But it’s not easy for Bernie to pursue her dreams. Her dad just doesn’t understand. Plus, she’s tired of being bullied for being different. Why can’t middle schoolers wear runway fashions to school?

Then, during the announcement of the sixth grade play, Bernie’s teacher reveals that there will be one scholarship to a prestigious performing arts camp in Chicago. Bernie knows it’s her one big chance to achieve her dream. She spends too much time dreaming of the lead role in the play (which includes kissing Cameron Edmunds) and not enough time practicing her audition lines. She bumbles her lines, blows her audition, and battles her bully, Dixie Moxley, reigning Jr. Miss Corn Harvest Queen. She digs in with the heels of her hand-me-down knee-high boots, determined to win that scholarship-somehow. If she doesn’t, she’ll be stuck in Cornville forever, far away from the spotlight she craves.

Current Price on Amazon: $2.99
