Carole's Reading Corner - E-book - ePub

'Carole's Reading Corner' contains eight short stories suitable for children aged 7 to 12 years. They range in topic and were all originally published in Storm Cloud Publishing anthologies (2015-2020). Some of these anthologies were brought out for Christmas so two of the stories in 'Carole's Reading Corner' have a Christmas theme. Carole Lander (of Checkword Publishing) writes in a realistic style, often touching on themes of social justice but her stories are not didactic.
Sometimes they are symbolic; for example, when she takes readers on an imaginary journey with a baby puffin who wants to reach the horizon. Carole has been a drama teacher and knows how young people 'tick'. She's a mother and grandmother too. Now, she pours all her creative ideas into writing for young readers.
