Happy Wednesday! Today promises to be a lovely day with dipping temps and a refreshing breeze. It's also the last day of state testing in ELA and Math. Tomorrow and Friday are make up days and the fifth and eighth graders take the science state test next week.
Waiting on Wednesday features The Last Rose by Leah Cypess. This is book four of the Sisters Ever After series. I learned about this sweet series of fairy tale retellings earlier this year from a fifth grader. The Last Rose is due out on December 5.
Here's the publisher synopsis: The fourth book in the Sisters Ever After series of fairy tale retellings, this is the wild story of Mera, the only one who can save her beautiful older sister when she is kidnapped by the Beast who viciously rules over their small village.
For as long as Mera can remember, she and her sister Darina have feared the Beast who lurks in the castle above their village. On countless nights they have locked themselves into their home while the Beast led his hounds on the Wild Hunt, preying on anything in his path.
Now Darina has been kidnapped by the Beast, and only Mera can save her. But she soon finds that in the Beast’s eerie, magic-haunted castle, nothing is quite what it seems—including her own sister. Here, Mera will discover the dark secrets that have bound her village to the Beast for so long.
But in order to set them all free, she will have to face the most dangerous secret of all: the truth about herself.
