Professional Book Reviews
Beyond The Edge by Ann Dale (Kirkus Reviews)
“A provocative, informed, and compelling brief for the protection of a beautiful, imperiled world. The book is illustrated with color reproductions of painter Nancyanne Cowell’s landscapes, which feature still waters beneath fluttering birds and undulant mists, backgrounded by green forests or city sunsets; these images provide a haunting visual accompaniment to Dale’s reflections.”
Return of the Bloodline: An Everglenn Novel by Suzy Webb (Foreword Reviews)
“In the warm and suspenseful fantasy novel Return of the Bloodline, a family is formed and fights to save each other and the one place where they all belong. Stretching across oceans and time, Suzy Webb’s fantastical mystery novel brings a sinister prophecy to a head, unraveling generations-old secrets while its heroine fights to save her home and her children.”
What Did You Say? A Book about Central Auditory Processing Disorder by Jennifer M. Burke (Foreword Reviews)
“Choose your own path through What Did You Say?, a fun, edifying picture book about a neurological condition. In Jennifer M. Burke’s playful picture book, a particular neurological condition and the brain’s system for understanding sound and language are explained.”
Inclusive Spirituality: Discovering What Lies beyond Religion by Thandazani Mhlanga (Foreword Reviews)
“Introducing a theoretical and practical framework for self-inquiry, the stimulating self-help book Inclusive Spirituality encourages deep examinations of one’s personal beliefs. Brief but deep and with an academic leaning, the text references scholarly theories, including Rainer Albertz’s work, and makes use of illustrative examples from ancient history and folklore. “
