My name is Clare and I am a children's bookseller. As part of my job I write book reviews, some get published and some never see the light of day. This blog collects together all my kids book reviews, everything from picture books to young adult novels. Many of these I've read as preview copies, but I won't publish the review here until after the book is published. (Spoilers, sweetie). You won't find any bad reviews here, these are all books I love.

Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee
It's 1849 and a small group of young cowboys are on the Oregon trail heading to the gold fields. They encounter all the terrors and trials you would expect, but two of them are also keeping a huge secret and they're on the run from the law. It's not often you find a YA western, even less often when the protagonists are two female outlaws. This is a fast, fun read packed with historical detail and adventure with a touch of romance to keep you guessing.
