* 2016 Moonbeam Book Award Winner * *2017 Midwest Book Award Winner * 
 If you enjoy Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce, you'll enjoy Christine Keleny's Agnes Kelly. She is the 1960s American version of Flavia de Luce. Agnes "is a Scout Finch from the Upper Midwest, a little older, but with the same qualities of curiosity, courage, and boldness of heart."
 "Intrigue in Istanbul: An Agnes Kelly Mystery Adventure" is set in 1961, a time of the cold war and space race. But that isn't on Agnes' radar. Her dad has died and during a trip with her grandmother to Istanbul, she accidentally finds out it was under suspicious circumstances, but that's just the beginning.
 Book One of the Agnes Kelly Mystery Adventure Series will make you laugh, set you on the edge of your seat, and leaving you wanting more - both the older and younger reader alike.
 "Agnes Kelly, a girl growing up in the 1960s, is not unlike twelve year old girls of the 21st century. She is inquisitive, observant and thoughtful. Middle school readers will relish Intrigue in Istanbul-An Agnes Kelly Mystery Adventure by Christine Keleny from start to finish..." Jill Peterson, teacher of 5th &amp; 6th Grade Language Arts, Raymond, Wisconsin

Today women have a glass ceiling. In the 1930s that ceiling was made of wood, so following your dream only took you so far especially if you went against societal norms and what your friends and family told you you should or should not do. This is the story told in A Burnished Rose, the much-anticipated sequel to the award-winning Rosebloom. Rose Krantz, a soon-to-be eighteen-year-old, has just come home to the family farm in southwest Wisconsin after running away from home two years earlier to follow her dream. She s home because her mother has been ill, but Rose is not looking to stay. Despite the objections of her family and a new man who comes into her life, Rose makes it back to her second home, New Orleans, and her boyfriend, Malcolm. Then, early one morning on December 7, 1941, bombs explode on the small, distant island of Hawaii. This incident pushes Rose, who is in Baton Rouge training to be a nurse, into a global conflict that ironically will come to be known as The Good War. A Burnished Rose entertains, inspires, and reminds us what life was like for women of that era, and for the nurses who, right along with the men, made significant sacrifices for their country. A percentage of the profits of each book sold will be donated to help in the education of disadvantaged children, because Christine believes that knowledge is a powerful tool.
