NAYLUS' NEW NOVEL 'THE PLAGUEMAKER' OUT SOON.REVIEWS"I loved this book! The synopsis really intrigued me. It was such an easy book to get into, and kept me guessing. What a unique story! Who wouldn't want to find a chest of old dresses and when trying them on, gets pulled into the late 16oos!? A good clean book that has loads of history and intrigue. It's perfect for young teens!"Mary de Bastos, The Sweet Bookshelf"The historical detail in The Dresskeeper is meticulous . . . The Dresskeeper deals with a modern teenager's worries such as bullies, self-image, broken families and money troubles. They were interweaved into the story subtly without making them the focus of the novel. A brilliant mix of fantasy and reality."Sophie Waters, So Many Books, So Little Time"This was a pleasure to read. I loved seeing 17th century London through Picky's eyes (and her humorous observations) - it really brought it to life and was the perfect way to bring a modern voice to historical fiction."Sammee Hicks, I Want to Read That". . . The Dresskeeper is . . . a story about a character learning to take control of her own destiny. Even if you don't normally go for books about time travel, this one is well worth making an exception for . . . way more fun than a history lesson . . ."Lauren Wavekeeper, I was a Teenage Book GeekDESCRIPTIONWhen 13 year old Picky Robson slips into a flouncy old dress from the depths of an old chest and finds herself back in 17th century London, she has no idea she is plunging herself into a dangerous adventure.

Does drinking really kill brain cells? Does listening to Mozart make your baby smarter? For all the mileage we've gotten from our own brains, most of us have essentially no idea how they work. We're easily susceptible to myths (like the "fact" that we use only 10% of our brains) and misconceptions (like the ones perpetrated by most Hollywood movies), probably because we've never known where to turn for the truth.But neurologists Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang are glad to help. In this funny, accessible book, we get a guided tour of our own minds, what they're made of, how they work, and how they can go wrong. Along the way, we get a host of diagrams, quizzes, and "cocktail party tips" that shed light on the questions we nag each other about. (Can a head injury make you forget your own name? Are dolphins smarter than chimpanzees?)Fun and surprisingly engrossing, Welcome to Your Brain shows you how your brain works, and how you can make it work better.

From Goodreads: Fantasy is my thing, so I was pleased when I got the chance to review Dragon Stones. This book? Well, I don't know what to say, I really don't. I don't want to say fantastic or awesome, the words don't have enough meaning. From the start the author emerges us into her world. She doesn't info dump or expect us to pick everything up at once. We start simply, with some people slaying dragons in the intro. Then we leave this scene to our main character, a 15 year old named Elias and his grandmother. Quaint, some description, quite comfortable. I would say I thought it would be something like a modern Lord of the Rings book.It's more than Lord of the Rings, this has a lot of that special zing I loved from Harry Potter in it. After Elias finds a Dragon Stone, some history is revealed through his grandmother to him. He doesn't heed her advice, and terrible things occur which start the adventure the reader awaits. We also start to switch off to the King Mitca and his Dragon Riders, to see what's going on on the other side of the coin.And then it ended.This book made me cry and 'feel' in a good way. I haven't felt such an old fashioned tug from a book in a long time like this one had on me. This gets a solid 5 from me! ~Melanie Ray's Reviews, Goodreads**************************************************************************DESCRIPTION: Sequestered deep in the capital, the tyrannical Emperor Vosper weaves a plan to destroy all the dragons.
