Once upon a time there were five
very lucky authors who loved writing
and publishing books for children.
They loved it a LOT.
And they decided that the only thing
that would make them happier
was if more hardworking artists and storytellers could be as happy as they were.
So they decided to do something about that...

My not-so-random choice for Day 3 of the RAPW is...
Nathaniel Fludd - Beastologist
The Unicorn's Tale
By R. L. LaFevers
Is there no rest for the travel worn and weary? Not if you are Nathaniel Fludd, world's youngest beastologist-in-training! All Nate really wants is to track down his missing parents, but when a unicorn falls mysteriously ill, Nate's Aunt Phil makes it clear where beastologists duties lie: to the beasts who need them.
And if ministering to the beasts of the world isn't difficult enough, Nate and Aunt Phil must also keep them safe from a most villainous man who intends to do them harm. With all this taking up every last bit of his energy and time, will Nate ever find the parents he is so absolutely convinced are alive?

The second book I've chosen for RAPW is...
MAGGIE AND OLIVER

A BONE OF ONE'S OWN
by Valerie Hobbs

The first book I'd like to fuss over for RAPW is...
(drumroll)
DISPLACEMENT - a Novel in Poems by Thalia Chaltas
Publishers Weekly said:
"...an exploration of grief, guilt and redemption,[Displacement] covers
rocky terrain both physical and mental. As pared down as the desert landscape into which Vera immerses herself, Chaltas' verse regularly surprises with economically graceful descriptions that make her settings and characters come alive."
Ages 12 and up
Viking Books
Thalia is a long-time, near-and-dear friend. Don't miss this book!
