How to Play Chess for Kids
by Jessica E. Martin
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I read this book as an adult, in preparation for giving it to our nephew at Christmastime. I wanted to make sure that the book would be well-suited to him, and also was eager to refresh and deepen my own basic chess skills. I found the writing to be clear and approachable. The sections and chapters of the book are thoughtfully structured and well organized. Illustrative examples and opportunities for practice and application of concepts and skills are interspersed throughout the book in a timely and helpful manner. The author provides a list of resources for further learning and practice as well. I highly recommend this book as a great starting point or refresher for children and adults who wish to play chess!

A page turner for sure. Great story, hard to put down. Love the characters and the twists… and I will admit that I fell for them all. Highly recommend this one.

The Wishing-Well Spell

book cover


This was the best book! I wanted to keep reading it and was sad it was over. My favorite part was probably when Daisys friend wished to be a grown up, at the wishing well, and she turned into a grown up but she learned she didn’t like being a grown up and she turned small again at the end of the book. She wanted to be a kid. Matilda - age 7

Subtle Blood

book cover


what a sweet and dramatic finish to this sweet and dramatic romance between a lord-turned-PI and a soldier-turned-bookseller. In this final episode, Will helps Kim confront his family trauma when Kim’s elder brother is accused, quite logically, of murder. Kim has no love for the brother who spent their childhood torturing him physically and psychologically, nor for the father who permitted it all to happen. But the thing is, if Will and Kim are to have their future together, it would certainly not be aided by Kim’s role as the heir to a Marquis. So, Kim is prepared to sacrifice whatever it takes to keep the crumbling estate away from them both. That is, until Will gets framed for another murder.
