It has had three covers with the one below as the latest.
The Expanded and Revised edition contains all of the above stories with new scenes from Freshman and Sophomore year and what happened after Samantha's Wedding.
Aww. That just made my night. By the way, I'm working on the college years (at least two stories need a follow up) but I want to release them all at one time.
This is where my ability to remember stories and plot lines come in handy. I was about to write the blog for this middle grade level book when the previous blog post occurred. We're all home now, things are settling in, and I can go back to writing and blogging. Learning to Fly (Dana Burkey) is the first book in the TNT Force Cheer series. It follows 12 ("But I'll be 13 in January") year old Maxine "Max" during the summer. While playing with her neighbor Peter and his younger brother, Kyle, it starts to rain so they decide to go to the indoor trampoline park. While there Max (don't call her Maxine) spots some girls her age practicing flips and other cheer stunts. Only Halley and Lexi aren't the typical cheerleaders - they belong to a gymnastics cheerleading squad. All of those competition squads that do flips and flying stunts and dance rountines? Yeah, that's TNT Force. They start showing Max some of their stunts and Max ...
Oftentimes how I pick my next read - or review - isn't complicated. In this case I was scanning titles on my kindle. I don't often go into the Young Adult section on my kindle. There are mostly big names and I'd like to support the new, not-big-names authors. But The Yearbook by Carol Masciola caught my attention. It might have been the cover. It was definitely the blurb. Lola, an orphan in foster care - a group home at that - manages to find herself in the library reserve room at school. She took over a job of throwing out fire and water damaged books out of self-preservation - she's trying to hide from someone. In the room she finds an undamaged yearbook from 1924. Falling asleep, she finds herself transported during a Fall Dance in 1923. There she meets Whoopsie, Thumbtack, and Peter the professor. Not wanting to leave her new friends and the feeling that she's finally found where she belongs, Lola goes back to get ...
It's been a few weeks since I've written a blog post of any kind. I've been diligently working on my own manuscript and it's getting closer and closer to being finished. There... moving on. Gryphon's Heir written by D.R. Ranshaw has been on my kindle for weeks. It was a big part of my #gymandbooks routine, but getting about an hour read at a time takes a while. It became a habit that took a little while to break. This is decidedly a 'boy' book. There is no obvious romantic interest; actually, this grabs my attention even more because I'm already trying to decide who Rhiss (Rhissan) will end up with at the end. (I am a hopeless romantic after all.) World creating is extremely important, even more so when creating your own world for your characters to live, work, and love in. I believe that Ranshaw did a superb job of creating his world. More on that later. When we first enter the story we...
I just love The Book Worm Series, there is nothing I love more than a cup of coffee, my cat purring in my lap, and a Alicia read!
