Dino Knights cover reveal!

I'm easing back into blogging after the excitement of Kidlitcon 2019 with a fun cover reveal!

Dino Knights, the first book in a new series by Jeff Norton (@the jeffnorton) comes out June 6th from Awesome Reads!

Here's the synopsis:

"Imagine medieval times where the dinosaurs never went extinct. When dinosaur stable boy Henry Fairchild stops a vicious T-Rex from attacking his master, he is invited to join the most elite group in Brecklan, the brave Knights of Panterra, the Dino Knights. But before he can prove himself, the enemies of Brecklan attack with a flock of pterodactyls and kidnap Lord Harding. Whether he's ready or not, Henry and the Dino Knights mount a daring rescue mission...but nothing is what it seems."

And here's the cover, by George Ermos:

Sounds (and looks) good to me!

The Jim Henson Company is making a live action tv show based on the book, which sounds like lots of fun too.

Dino Knights can be preordered here.

Rapture Practice by Aaron Hartzler

Rapture Practice opens with a note from the author, Aaron Hartzler: "Something you should know up front about my family: We believe that Jesus is coming back." This initial detail introduces us to Aaron's family, a family that believes in the rapture, the idea that Jesus is going to come back down to earth and bring good people up to heaven. Aaron has been a part of his family's religious lifestyle for his entire life. He performs in plays of Bible stories with his family. They don't go to movies, don't have a TV, don't listen to many kinds of music. They are focused on living properly so that when Jesus comes back, they will get to go to heaven. At first glance, Rapture Practice probably seems like one of those sensational stories that we see nowadays, books about someone's abusive childhood or crazy cult. What's so refreshing about this book is that it isn't sensational. The entirety of the book can be summed up in one conversatio...

Black Helicopters

By Blythe Woolston Black Helicopters is narrated by a girl named Valkyrie. Her father raised her and her brother, Bo, away from civilization, and they fear other people. They believe that everyone is out to get them, and, during the "present" chapters of the books - intermingled with flashbacks - Valkyrie goes out with a bomb strapped to her chest to blow something up. That's pretty much the whole story. This book was one of the most unfulfilling stories I have ever read. At the end, I knew about as much as I did at the beginning; there was no discovery. Valkyrie was barely a character. I could not relate to her in any way. Her motivations were completely lost on me. I never really understood what she was trying to do, and even after I finished the book, I still couldn't figure out where it had been trying to go. Valkyrie was ageless in that anywhere-between-eight-and-eighteen way; it states that she's fifteen, but her characte...
