    Book SynopsisIt is the 5th Century AD.The Romans have abandoned Britain, but there are still dangers for the Brigantes people.The Saxons are pushing their way north, so everyone in Doran and Rhiannon''s settlement needs to know how to fight.Doran has other worries: he and his little brother live in fear of Torsa and his cruel threats.Rhiannon wants to help, but her prayers to the ancient river god aren''t working.Could a mysterious man she meets change everything?Who is his Father God... and how can the dove stone help?Join Doran, Rhiannon and her faithful dog, Wolf, in this action-packed adventure about friendship, facing fears and finding faith, set in the wilds of northern England."What a brilliant read! I think it''s a fantastic historical novel, especially for anyone who has studied the Romans or has an interest in British history and is just starting their journey as a Christian. The drama throughout the book meant it was a real page turner and the way in which the characters were introduced and developed meant it was easy to visualise them and picture their experiences throughout the story. I can very much see it being used as a class novel in church schools and there really aren''t many ''mainstream'' class texts that talk about religion so this will definitely be a positive addition, especially with the historical overlap. However, I can see it really coming into its own as a recommended text for those individuals in juniors who have started to explore Christianity in more depth, especially the idea of prayer. It''s definitely one I will be recommending!" - Louise Quayle (junior school teacher)"I think The Dove Stone is inspiring because it shows that even thousands of years ago, God was listening. I found it fascinating learning about how Christianity came to Britain and I would love there to be a sequel! I really liked the characters because I could imagine being friends with them (although maybe not Torsa!) and I couldn''t wait to find out what happened next in their adventure." - Ellen"I love how the historical and religious ideas are combined into a fast-paced adventure story." - Jacob

Every detail anticipates readers' interest." -- The Horn Book "In the fourth book in Erdrich's award-winning Birchbark House series, the focus moves to a new generation.

What is left unspoken is as powerful as the story told." -- Booklist (starred review) "[A] lyrical narrative. Readers will want to follow this family for many seasons to come." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Readers who loved Omakayas and her family in The Birchbark House (1999) have ample reason to rejoice in this beautifully contstructed sequel ... Hard not to hope for what comes next for this radiant nine-year old." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Erdrich's charming pencil drawings interspersed throughout and her glossary of Ojibwe terms round out a beautiful offering. -- School Library Journal (starred review) "Erdrich's gifts are many, and she has given readers another tale full of rich details of 1850's Ojibwe life, complicated supporting characters, and all the joys and challenges of a girl becoming a woman." -- Horn Book (starred review) Why has no one written this story before? -- ALA Booklist (boxed review) "The Birchbark House establishes its own ground, in the vicinity of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books." -- New York Times Book Review "Erdrich's captivating tale of four seasons portrays a deep appreciation of our environment, our history, and our Native American sisters and brothers." -- School Library Journal

Her contemporaries may scorn her Filipina heritage and her dishes, but with her flawless social graces and culinary talents, Penelope is set to prove them wrong.Elijah Little has nothing to his name but a truly excellent instinct for flavors. London merchants won?t allow a Jewish boy to own a shop, so he hawks his pasties for a shilling a piece to passersby?but he knows with training he can break into the highest echelon of society.When Penelope and Helena meet Elijah, a golden opportunity arises: to pull off a project never seen before, and turn Elijah from a street vendor to a gentleman chef.But Elijah?s transformation will have a greater impact on this trio than they originally realize?and mayhem, unseemly faux pas, and a little romance will all be a part of the delicious recipe.Trade Review"Jennieke Cohen serves up a fun dish of a novel with a healthy sprinkle of feminism. MY FINE FELLOW is fresh as the rain in Spain." — Stacey Lee, New York Times bestselling author “A sparkling retelling of My Fair Lady set in an alternate 1830s London… readers will connect to both Penelope’s and Elijah’s desires to remain true to themselves in a world that would prefer them to stay on the margins.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Filled with delectable dishes and an inclusive cast... Weaving the original source material with relevant social commentary, Cohen creates memorable characters struggling to find their place in a prejudicial world, while alternating viewpoints add depth to the backdrop of this historical culinary treat." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Jennieke Cohen dishes up an irresistible YA historical romance with a Filipina-British heroine at its heart who breathes fresh life into this gender-flipped My Fair Lady reimagining." — Alexa Donne, author of The Ivies and The Stars We Steal "Cohen has done it again! Fans of My Fair Lady will eat up this delicious peek into the London elite that could have been. Glittering ballrooms, complex friendships, extravagant kitchens, and budding romance make this historical rom-com an indulgence as nuanced as it is delectable. A true treat!"-- — Tobie Easton, award-winning author of the Mer Chronicles series “A charming historical romp and fitting tribute to My Fair Lady. With pitch-perfect prose and a sly, observant voice, Jennieke Cohen serves up a spectacularly unique rom-com confection. I absolutely loved it!” — Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of Today Tonight Tomorrow "A delightful celebration of history, heritage, and haute cuisine that pays tribute to George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion while telling an entirely original tale. I think it would leave Shaw smiling. And also very, very hungry." — Jacqueline Firkins, author of Hearts, Strings, and Other Breakable Things and How Not to Fall in Love “A delectable treat of a novel.” — Bustle, Best YA Books Out in 2022 “A delightful YA historical romance with a Jewish twist… a retelling you won’t want to miss.” — Hey Alma “Especially delicious.” — Horn Book Magazine "[This] story’s more than a simple retelling; it’s a refreshing remix of well-loved ingredients, sure to please." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books Praise for Dangerous Alliance: “With a whimsical nod to Jane Austen and a charming pairing to root for, Dangerous Alliance brings the best of Regency romance to young adult.

Replete with intrigue, grand parties, and romantic entanglements, fans of Jane Austen will positively devour this book.” — Jessica Cluess, author of A Shadow Bright and Burning “Romance fans and Jane Austen devotees will devour this delicious Regency romp.” — Alexa Donne, author of Brightly Burning and The Stars We Steal “Bathed in Cohen’s richly textured language, Dangerous Alliance boldly shines a light on issues women struggled with historically: abuse, obstruction, and dominance. A timeless story.” — Shelley Sackier, author of The Antidote and The Freemason’s Daughter “A fresh, enchanting addition to the historical fiction genre! The perfect read for fans of Jane Austen and Downton Abbey!” — Tobie Easton, award winning author of the Mer Chronicles series “The perfect combination of mystery, intriguing characters, surprising action, and delightful romance.
