"Aveline is a top-notch book. I highly recommend it for fans of middle grade/YA along the lines of
I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons by Peter S. Beagle or The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins."

Aveline
For thirteen-year-old Aveline Fleur, a child of Alterra’s ruling house, life is pretty much perfect.
She attends private school, owns a horse, and lives on an enormous estate where she and her best friend Bruno run wild.
But when she discovers that her family is involved in a sinister plot to brainwash people who speak out against the
regime—and that Bruno and his mother are in danger—Aveline must summon the courage to save herself and her friends before it’s too late.

“With every page turn, you’ll be on the edge of your seat, eager to discover what
happens next. This remarkable author has a talent for creating unforgettable characters
and gripping plotlines that are unsurpassed!”
Suzie Housley, Midwest Book Review
“Aveline is a wonderfully realistic main character and a fun hero with a complicated
family dynamic that people will identify with. . . . The world building is well-executed with
important facts and descriptions interspersed throughout the book. They paint a picture
of Alterra and their enemies with detailed landscapes and a clear hierarchy of
government . . . Within this elaborate world, the plotting enfolds building suspense with
unpredictable events, leading to a satisfying conclusion.”
