If you're looking for a short and sweet summer read I've got the book for you. Why not read "Pure of Heart" for the second or third time, or dare I say first time.

Have a happy summer :)

Just a quick post today my loyal followers. :)
This March a dinner and chinese auction will be held in an effort to support the Parent Teacher Association. This is an event that is held annually and I am happy to report that “Pure Of Heart” will be part of a prize package being donated to help raise funds for the PTA at my children’s elementary school.
I received another message from a new reader. She hasn't even finished reading the book yet but was kind enough to tell me her thoughts on what she has read so far...
"Answer me this riddle, do Miread and the prince fall in love or does his crush on her help save the unicorn? will Sinead survive or are you teaching tweens that life doesn't always turn out the way you like? lol, I'm really enjoying the story." -Meredith Albert

Pure Of Heart is a short story that is just the right length to keep an impatient youngster’s interest. It is not to short that it’s over in a minute but not too long as to become boring and leaving a kid asking, “Why did I start reading this instead of playing the Wii?” Aimed at the younger reader, ready to move on to something deeper than the magic tree house books, it is a prime example of putting someone else’s needs first. It’s an adventure book, it’s a fantastical book, and it’s even a romance book suitable for that in between age.
Liam searches for the “horrible beast” that killed his brother, while Miread searches for a “mystical creature” capable of saving her ill sister. What both of these young people learn along the way is that both the beast and the creature are one and the same.
My copy of the book just came in the mail this week... it'll be a while before school lets up enough for me to read it, but I'll be sure to let you know what I think when I do! Thanks!
