Of Flame & FrostBy AJ SkellyDescription:
Aspen Frost has fallen from grace. Once among the upper echelons of popularity at Magik Prep Academy, a terrifying event at a party leaves a nasty rumor in its wake and thrusts her into social isolation. Book Takeaway:Differences and supposed weaknesses can become great strengths when we work together. Why the author wrote this book:In a different age, I was a high school English teacher. Students talked to me, often about hard things. I wanted to create a place for those students where they could find hope, be seen, and learn to take pride in themselves as God made them, even when they didn't see those things about themselves. Of Flame & Frost deals with some hard topics like bullying, saying no, and finding grace and acceptance for oneself and each other. It also provides a look at healthy romance, as that is something most of my students wanted to read, and needed to see. Set in a magical academy, Of Flame & Frost offers a safe space for young adult readers (and those who are still young at heart) to explore these themes. |
