Welcome! My theme for the A-Z Blogging Challenge is middle-grade and young adult fiction.   Caribbean tales always sound good to me.  Can you tell I'm partial?

Three magical tales from a legendary storyteller.
Enter the richly magical world of Tales from the Isle of Spice and visit a bottomless lake where an enchanted princess lives. Try your luck against the sinister woman who walks in moonlight stalking souls. Catch a glimpse of the mysterious boy with an angelic face whose scarred body hides beneath the waves.

Tales from the Isle of Spice features three beloved stories retold for middle readers: The Nutmeg Princess, La Diablesse and the Baby and Freedom Child of the Sea.

Complete with luscious new illustrations, and alive with charm, Tales from the Isle of Spice is a journey to the heart of a child's imagination.
