Notes from London Confidential.

As the summer days are long with the heat index rising here, where I live, I encourage you to check out an amazing author Sandra Byrd writes for teens and adults. Now lets be real I am bias as usual, she writes about England so I love her. Come on people who know me, you would not expect anything less. I truly have something to shout about. Emily loved reading The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall. She loved both books, it captivated her and even a young man in her class who has now read it two or three times. Now these books called London Confidential held my daughter captive to read more. We can't afford to go home, so home was bought to her with British sayings that often can be forgotten once you have lived in America for a few years. Now if an author can captivate someone that much that they take notes and are upset that there is not any more being written I tell you that has to be a good book.

I have looked at Sandra's site, her blog is an inspiration and to be frank I would like to read her books myself. It does not matter your age if a book is good who cares what the age it is written for. It is just pure good and should be read. I loved the Penderwicks, Loved Wind and the Willows.

Now I am sure you are going to love being taken to London and learn what it is like to be an American in London. This is like a Bill Bryson in a new teen book. My ex husband loved his writing. So here it goes start reading. These are some books that us Brits and want to be Brits need to be reading this summer.
