In Littlewood’s sequel of Bliss, readers are whisked away from comforts of Calamity Falls to visit the exotic locations of Mexico and Paris. While in Paris, Littlewood creates a magical “tour” of the French capital by going to such places as the top of the Eiffel Tower to collect “unspoiled raindrops”, the Catacombs to gather a “ghostly gust”, or to Notre Dame Cathedral to capture the “midnight chime” of a the Emmanuel bell. But besides the adventurous story, the heart of the book is about the strength and power that comes from a loving family. A family’s love and legacy are the key ingredients that help Rose conquer her fears. The next book in the Bliss series is called Bite-sized Magic.
From my years as a book reviewer for Children's Book and Media Review, I know it's tricky to navigate the reading world to find "safe harbors" for our imaginations. So I have created this blog to guide young readers to wholesome literature and to highlight the authors who create it. I hope you enjoy the literary destinations ahead!
