If you had to lose everything, what day would you choose?

When ten-year-old Mairead asks about her father, Siobhan falters. How can she expose Mairead to the pain and rejection that shattered her world leaving them both with wounds Siobhan can’t find the strength to face? But keeping that loss at bay has also kept her daughter at a distance, and the future queen’s childhood is rapidly slipping away.

As if that wasn’t enough, their kingdom is on the brink of civil war, with discord being sown in its border regions and powerful magic-users threatening their dreams. Amidst the chaos, Siobhan finds that an old friend has become Mairead’s surrogate father—and Siobhan’s closest confidant—but trying to discern between her heart and the best interests of the realm has left her torn. It seems that whatever she chooses will require a courage she doesn’t possess.

With war on the horizon and a second chance at love awaiting her decision, Siobhan seeks peace in the pages of an old journal, but the first dragon king’s words convey a faith in Jeeah that defies anything Siobhan has ever experienced. Can she give up her fear and entrust herself—and her only child—to the one who has seen her this far? Or will the cost be too great to bear?

Resolved is the fifth book in the coming-of-age fantasy series, Four Stars over Ardatz: Sovereigns. If you like action, multi-dimensional clean romance, and addictive stories, you'll love Kandi J Wyatt's book.

Student Saturday: Alone by Megan E. Freeman

 

 

Student Reviewer:  Alicia M.

Genre:  Middle Grade, Realistic Fiction

     Maddie was a 12-year-old girl. She was normal and had a great relationship with her stepparents and her parents. She adored her siblings. Everything was fine, her routine was the same, her friendships were good. She lived in a town called Millerville.

    Unfortunately, something occurred causing everyone to evacuate. Maddie planned something with her best friends, but they couldn’t go. While Maddie was at her grandparents alone, everyone left without informing her. Maddie was left to take care of herself and thrive through major weather and disasters. In the end of evacuation, Maddie sought shelter at her mother's house and noticed her neighbor’s dog, George, was left behind unattended. She took him with her as a friend and for protection. They went through different obstacles together. At the end, something unexpected came. She finally reached her successful conclusion after 3 years of surviving alone.

    I didn’t expect to like this book a lot because of how thick the booked looks but it’s interesting. I recommend this book to anyone who feels discouraged when they feel alone. This book made me surprised when I read the big events that occurred. I really enjoyed reading this and I will be more than happy to read this again.

Student Saturday: Sunny Side Up by Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm

 

Student Reviewer - Sophia A

Genre:  Middle Grade, Graphic

In the book "Sunny Side Up", there are many characters, but the main character is Sunshine Lewin; but people call her Sunny. Her grandfather is Patrick Hearn, but Sunny calls him Gramps. Sunny has an older brother named Dale Lewin, and she also has a younger brother, Sunny is ten-years-old. Everything in this book takes place in Florida and Pennsylvania during 1975-1976.

This book is constantly changing the setting. For example, a couple of pages would take place in 1976. Then it would change back to 1975. I found this really confusing. The book starts off with Sunny going on a plane to Florida to stay with her grandfather over the summer. She's constantly getting flashbacks of moments and memories (mainly bad ones) with her older brother Dale. She doesn't seem to enjoy her time in Florida because there aren't any kids her age where her grandfather lives. She somehow ends up meeting a kid her age, and they have a lot of fun together. 

I can relate to how Sunny feels. I have two older sisters. One is twenty years old, and the other is fourteen. They both do really bad things, which causes them to be on bad terms with our mother. I haven't seen or heard from one of them in over two years. The other one never talks to me unless she wants something like money.  Overall, I love my sisters as much as Sunny loves her older brother Dale.
