<h4>"This story is a captivating blend of Christian science fiction, fantasy, and mystery. For 11-14-year-old readers who enjoy books such as A Wrinkle In Time." "Do you believe in angels?" "The Girl Who Captured the Stars, the first book in author L.B. Anne's Sheena Meyer series&nbsp;is fantastic! I like how Sheena figures out she has powers, and how she trusts her friends but wants to protect them also. Some parts of the story are sad. Some parts of the story are scary. But some parts of the story are so funny, they made me laugh out loud!"&nbsp;Amazon Reviewer </h4> <h4> "What am I?"

She is also really picky about what she reads so finding something we approve and she likes can be a challenge. I read all 3 books in the series before giving them to her and loved them myself! They're we're a fun light read as an adult and they were safe but interesting for a middle schooler to read. The first day I had her start reading she read 11 chapters in The Girl Who Looked Beyond the Stars because she couldn't put it down! She can't wait to read more and says she'll finish all 3 quick because they're so good and she has to know what happens! Also love that the main characters are black and they talk about curly hair, it's great for my daughter to read books with characters who represent what she looks like. Thankful I found these books for my daughter!

Secret of Shadow and Light (Sheena Meyer)

Five Things About Dragonflies (Children of the Glades)

Review\n5 STARS! Reviewed By K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite. 
Five Things About Dragonflies is a work of fiction in the drama, historical, and adventure subgenre and serves as the first installment of the Children of the Glades series. It is aimed at younger readers and was penned by author L. B. Anne. The book follows a young girl named Talula who lives in Spanish Florida during the early 19th century as she fights to protect her people from the slave hunters who have come looking for people to send to the plantations. As an alliance between the people of the local villages throws up a roadblock for the hunters and their plans, a war begins to brew for the survival of Talula and her people.\nThis was definitely a challenging period of history to use as the setting of a children's book, but author L. B. Anne manages to pay respect to the period and tell the story of those affected without ever rendering the subject matter inaccessible for the target audience. Within the deadly world of the slave hunters and their prey, there is room for a hero like Talula to shine a light on one of the darkest parts of human history. What a hero Talula is with her constant displays of bravery and determination against difficult odds. Five Things About Dragonflies opens up a new world for its readers and, after reading it, I could not be more excited for the next entry in the series. A stunningly realized hero in an exciting tale, grounded in real-world history, this book will start conversations between the kids who read it and their parents and teachers, and it certainly deserves your time.\n"Riveting historical fiction that will enrich and delight the audience. Anne, a prolific author and Florida resident who is of African and Indigenous descent, presents a series opener that is both well researched and well written. The author engages the audience with a dual perspective narration that's exciting, suspenseful, and socially conscious, though not preachy." ― Kirkus Review\n"Five Things About Dragonflies is a compelling story of a warrior girl, her family and village, and her bravery in the face of oppression, suppression, and slavery.” - ARC Reviewer 
"I have to say—WOW! I am blown away. Honestly, I love this story so much. And I am so impressed with how the author included so much factual information in an engaging story. Kids will be so entertained as they learn." - ARC Reviewer 
"This story is touching and has so many good life lessons in it. Great job making a tough subject appropriate for kids." - ARC Reviewer 
A fictional story about actual events in African American and Indigenous peoples’ history. 
The underground railroad didn’t only run North, it also ran south to Spanish Florida. And out of that southern area came a young warrior on a quest to save her Black Seminole family. 
Shortly after seeing curious smoke over the jungle, Talula finds her world’s peaceful existence breaking apart. 
As the War of 1812 begins, changes are sweeping through Spanish Florida and are coming for ten-year-old Talula. 
Slave hunters are capturing both freedmen and runaways and taking them back to Georgia plantations. But when the slave hunters arrived in Spanish Florida, they found something completely unexpected—flourishing villages and an alliance between the people they hunted and Seminole Indians. And a war they had no idea about was brewing. 
Talula, a Black Seminole free girl, sets out to protect her family and her village and must convince others to help in the fight against the slave hunters. She is not just a girl on a horse, she is a warrior. Her story is one of survival and resilience.
