So, I am starting a Mother Daughter Book Club with some of the girls in my grade, and we were thinking of reading you entire series. Do you have suggestions as for maybe discussion questions or just tips in general on how to guide us through your books?? Thank you!!
Melanie Dickerson
How fun! There are discussion questions in the back of some of my books. I would suggest reading them in this order: 1. The Healer's Apprentice, 2. The Fairest Beauty, 3. The Captive Maiden, 4. The Merchant's Daughter, 5. The Princess Spy, 6. The Silent Songbird, 7. The Golden Braid. This is slightly different from the order I wrote them, but it will help to draw the right connections between the characters. Keep in mind when you read The Merchant's Daughter that it has all new characters and a new setting, but there is a connection in the next book, The Princess Spy. Happy reading!

To be honest, this is going to be more of a rambling, gushing fan letter than a question, but..I just had to tell you how much I LOVED The Healer's Apprentice. I'm still sitting here wiping away tears and hugging this book. Ok, ahem, I put the book down now. It was so lovely, such a perfect, beautiful, and pure love story. I'll do the rest of my gushing in a review. Just wanted to ask about any plans for future books?
