The Legend of Longwood
Despite some flaws, most viewers will enjoy this unbridled celebration of girl power and equine glory.
The Chess Queen Enigma: A Stoker & Holmes Novel
The endearingly flawed and delightfully competent heroines, the convincing integration of steampunk accoutrements, and the fact-based historical framework make this a must-purchase where the other novels are popular.
Anne & Henry

thinking prompts are included. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review
