#theforestqueen

#TheForestQueen is a featured YA title on the Teaching & Learning Committee Literature Review, sponsored by the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association. “This lovely twist on the Robin Hood tale is an engaging story. Familiarity with the legend adds to the enjoyment, but the story is captivating without prior knowledge. With many of the roles inverted gender-wise, this book packs a feminist punch. Sylvie is a compelling character, who develops into a forest-wise advocate for her people . . . A can’t-put-down book with strong female characters, The Forest Queen also touches on many pertinent social issues. A touch of romance adds to the fun.” https://www.instagram.com/betsycornwell/p/Bty-rwwnnya/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jl3jrivgkioy

Such a good review of TFQ from Writing With Wolves - posting more in my stories out of pure vanity. #theforestqueen https://www.instagram.com/p/BopaVdcFkcI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tybwmch8ckdm

So the blackberry scene in #theforestqueen is taken from life - the wild blackberries that grow here are delicious, but you do have to check for 🐛as you pick them. #galway

OK these tweet reviews of #theforestqueen are seriously boosting the old self-esteem 💚💚💚

Some extra love for #TheForestQueen from the Booklist team on Twitter made me feel warm and fuzzy on this hot day.

The snowstorm that just passed was the worst I've seen since I moved to Ireland, but I was lucky to have the resources that meant my baby and I were warm and safe all through it. This month's #theforestqueen preview is about winter and privilege and all the responsibility that comes with lost ignorance. It's definitely something I'm still trying to figure out, as is my girl Robin Hood. 🌳👸🏽🏹💚
