Welcome! My theme for the A-Z Blogging Challenge is middle-grade and young adult fiction. If you’re a writer and would like to have your book featured during the Challenge, drop me an email with your book blurb, cover, your bio and picture. I’ll slot in your book based on the letter of the day. I like the sound of this book and would love to read it.

A luminous novel in verse from the author of the Jefferson Cup award winner ALL THE BROKEN PIECES.

Serafina has
a secret dream.

She wants to go to school
and become a doctor
with her best friend, Julie Marie.

But in their rural village
outside Port-au-Prince, Haiti,
many obstacles
stand in Serafina’s way--
little money,
never-ending chores,
and Manman’s worries.

More powerful even
than all of these
are the heavy rains
and the shaking earth
that test Serafina’s resolve
in ways she never dreamed.

At once heartbreaking and hopeful,
this exquisitely crafted story
will leave a lasting impression
on your heart.
