A good resource for families: Facing Mighty Fears About Health
by Dawn Huebner
When I was young, I could worry. A book like this one would have been incredibly helpful. I highly recommend it as a resource for kids and their adults. It will help children to understand what they are experiencing when they worry about their health and will offer them help in coping. Kids will learn why they feel these panicky alarms and how to deal with them in four helpful steps.
There are additional sections in the book to help adults in taking with children about this book. In addition, there is a resource section included.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Jessica Kingsley Publishers for this title. All opinions are my own.
This title will be published on 21 Apr 2022.

Some e book bargains for 4.9.22
Come to Mure; It is worth the trip: Jenny Colgan
The Cafe by the Sea is an e book bargain on 4.9.22
The Endless Beach is one of three novels set on Mure, a fictional town in northern Scotland. The first in the series was The Cafe by the Sea and the newest entry is Christmas on the Island.
Here are my earlier thoughts on The Cafe by the Sea:
Jenny Colgan is a talented writer of light, humorous women’s fiction. I find that her novels are good reads for when I want to escape. In this book, The Cafe by the Sea, the escape is to the fictional island of Mure in very northern Scotland.

This novel picks up where the earlier one left off. It can be read as a standalone or as part of…

This is an e book bargain today.
This is Dervla McTiernan’s second novel; it follows The Ruin and features many of the same characters. The Scholar takes place in Ireland at a university and science lab. A young former chemistry student is murdered. As you read the novel, you may, like me, think that you know exactly how it will end. I was partially wrong as it was more complex than I had anticipated.
In addition to Della, the (first) victim, the novel tells the story of Carline. She is heir to a great pharmaceutical company but does not feel fully accepted by the grandfather who owns it. What will she do to try to ensure her place? What will happen to her?
The first book’s primary detective was Cormac. He is in a relationship with Emma who works for Darcy Pharmaceuticals, the lab at the heart of this story. What will happen when Emma is both…
