PHOENIX RISING by Bryony Pearce (1/17/16, pirate action and adventure, ages 10+): For as long as Toby can remember, he and his father have sailed on the Phoenix, salvaging from the junk-filled seas to stay afloat, while keeping under the radar of the authorities. Ayla is second-in-command on the rival Banshee, where she’s trained her whole life to fight. Since childhood, Ayla’s been taught the Phoenix must be destroyed. And now they have the ship in their sights. And they’re desperate to have their precious intel, too. But Toby’s sick of a life at sea, and Ayla may be his only hope. Can he turn an old feud into a new alliance that will save both their skins?

5 Ways to Thrive in the Midst of Challenge and Despair from Donna Stoneham, Ph.D. (Author of The Thriver's Edge)
Book provided for review/feature consideration |
It’s easier to thrive when things are going well. It’s much harder to flourish in times of challenge or despair. The past nine-months have been particularly challenging for many as alarming events have unfolded at a pace never experienced before, including multiple terrorist attacks, the plight of refugees, black lives cut short, and police officers murdered. Add to that the most divisive US Presidential election ever and at times it feels as though things are spinning out of control.
