Ta da! The Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tales Are Here!
Do the Kids Need Books?
Silly question! Keeping up with older elementary or primary school readers can be tough. In a few minutes, you can get a feel for a picture book, but 9 to 12 year olds also read longer books and they have opinions. 🙂
If you want to recommend books they will love, it’s hard to know where to start (and easy to run out of ideas!)
Here’s a 3-step cure to the I-don’t-have-anything-to-read blues.
1. Top 10 Tales Book Menu. Every month in my Readers List, I recommend a book for ages 9 to 12. My reviews are on GoodReads and LibraryThing and BookBub, but I also make my Top Ten Tales Book Menu available in December every year. No email required.
2. Bumpity Boulevard Press Catalog. Leave it lying around for readers to find or hide it for gift ideas. Either way, you can enjoy the beautiful German castles that inspired the world of the Seven Kingdoms. No email required.
3. Trouble at the Christmas Fair. Take a sneak peek into the Seven Kingdoms world in this short story. I’ll need your email to send the story, but if you don’t want to be on the Readers List, you can unsubscribe right after you get your ebook. No hard feelings.

“I loved the idea of the Seven Kingdoms . . . allowing children to make the rules and legally upholding them . . . I found myself wanting to adopt a baby dragon myself. I know children will feel the same way because he was just too irresistible . . . I highly recommend this story!” [5 stars]
