A Gift of Words by Rosalind Dando

Tour dates: February 18th - February 22nd

Age/Genre: Middle Grade/Fantasy

Format(s): eBooks

A magical gift is more trouble than it's worth...

Cam has plenty of things to worry about. His best friend might have broken someone’s fingers, the class bully won’t leave him alone, and staying under the radar of his teachers is much harder than it ought to be. He definitely doesn’t need magic to make his life any more complicated.

Which is good, because when he does write his name in Libris Sapientia—the book of wisdom—a whole lot of nothing happens. He is a failure, and even a book agrees. Then, Loman Lykill joins their class, bringing a whole new brand of chaos to Highgrove Secondary.

Cam has his magical gift, whether he wants it or not.

A Gift of Words is the first book in The Gifts Trilogy by Rosalind Dando.

Speak the Ocean by Rebecca Enzor

Age/Genre: Adult/Fantasy, Fairy Tale

Format(s): eBooks

Corporate tells the public the mermaids aren’t dangerous, but that’s a lie.

When the superpredator Mer kill another trainer, Finnegan Jarvis finally sees his opportunity to become a superstar trainer. No more scrubbing tanks and cleaning blood: he’s gonna be in front of the audience showing off his brand-new, fully-trained mermaid. If only he can get her to do the tricks she’s supposed to.

That mermaid is Erie, an ocean-princess ripped from her home when she pushes another Mer out of the way of the net. She doesn’t understand why she’s there, but she’s determined to learn air-words to find out.

While Finn trains Erie, she teaches herself air-words. And when she finally speaks, Finn breaks the number one rule at Oceanica: Never Humanize The Mer.

Now he’ll do whatever it takes to save her.
