Wynter’s Thief by Sherryl Jordan, first published in 2019, follows two young people who strive to find freedom in a world where being different is dangerous. This novel explores how easily society can isolate a person based on one aspect of their identity. Though Wynter’s Thief is a medieval fantasy book, this theme is still widely relevant in the modern world.

This book paints a picture of a much simpler way of living, where everyone provides for themselves and their families and works to build a kinder life.  Read more

Jessie is an ordinary 12 year old girl.  Read more
