Beatrice at Bay
Hey y'all, it's done. If you liked Beatrice and the Basilisk, you're gonna love this one!
Here's the Amazon description: Beatrice at Bay is the second installment of the Beatrice McIlvaine Adventure series, which features the fiery, feisty, and somewhat telekinetic Beatrice growing up in a world of increasingly sophisticated threats and menaces. The saga started with Beatrice and the Basilisk, a modern-day fairy tale that resonated unexpectedly with readers young and old. Beatrice was twelve. She’s fifteen now, and facing different challenges: a potential step-father; her own immense and unwelcome powers; the weird kids from the Academy; and—possibly most importantly—the end of the world as we know it. Can Beatrice channel her troubling destructive energies in the service of something greater than herself? Who can she trust at a beautiful school for gifted kids that isn't quite what it seems? And what’s with this Lester White Bull kid creeping on her Instagram account, anyway? Clocking in at 25,000 words, a combination of “Stranger Things” and Pippi Longstocking, Beatrice at Bay is a fast, funny, exciting read for kids—especially girls—between the ages of ten and, oh, seventy-four.

Thoughts, drafts, reviews, and opinions from Bruce McCandless, poet, amateur historian, bicyclist and attorney. I'm partial to Beowulf, Dylan, Cormac McCarthy, Leonard Cohen, Walt Whitman, Hillary Mantel, Wilco, and Steve Earle, chocolate, coffee, Colorado rivers and college football. I'd like it if you'd read a couple of my posts, and I'd love it if you'd comment. We all care about the written word. Let me read a few of yours.
