A Storm Unleashed has its first review in.

A Children's Book Pick for Nov. "This historical fiction of bravery in the times of Nazi terror is an important read." #kidlit #Holocaust #Historicalfiction #dogs #HolocaustEducation #MGfiction
Absolutely over the moon with a review from the Jewish Book Council for Kai and the Golem. The reviewer understood exactly what I was trying to achieve with the book. Also best compliment ever: "Children will recognize themselves in Kai." #Kidlit #Picturebook #KarBen
New book arrives! Kai and the Golem. #KarBenPublishers #Picturebooks #kidlit
I was thrilled to present A Storm Unleashed to teachers at the Manitoba Social Sciences Association Conference on October 24. We had two sold out sessions. I was so fortunate to do the sessions with Kelly Hiebert, a Holocaust education scholar. #HolocaustEd #Berlin1935 #Middlegrade #Kidlit
My new #Holocaust #mg #novel launch.
Berlin, 1935. What was illegal is now legal, including brutality against Hitler's perceived "enemies." #Fascism is now all there is. Mia, her dad and her dog, Max, must try to survive in a world where #hate has been #unleashed. #antisemitism #Canadiankidlit
Congratulations Carol!
Book Birthday! A STORM UNLEASHED is officially out in the world today. Thank you to Scholastic Canada.
Mia and Max have grown up with love. Now all they can see and feel is hate. What is in store for them? #cndkidlit #antisemitism #scholasticcanada @chaptersindigo.bsky.social @mcnallyrobinson.com
Thrilled to be in the company of theses wonderful authors. Check out their new books!

My new book has arrived @mcnallyrobinson.com. In 1935 Berlin, Mia and her dog Max find themselves in a world filled with hate. Hitler blames the Jews for everything and Mia's Father is Jewish. Every day becomes more dangerous as #Nazis destroy #democracy in favour of #fascism. #Cankidlit #Canscaip
