SCONESAND SENSIBILITY (Egmont 2009)

Scones andSensibility (Egmont 2009) stars a delightful yet meddling main character named Polly. Her resume includes (a) daughter to bakery shop owners, (b) Jane Austen’s biggest fan, (c) romance enthusiast (d) 20th century wannabe, and (e) self-appointed town match maker.  Polly sets out with good intentions and wild plans to provide love and romance to the needy citizens of her small shore community. But she ends up creating chaos to the point that the police become involved.  As the back of the book states, “When Polly learns the pitfalls of playing matchmaker, will she be able to patch up relationships while making sure that love can take its course?”  It’s a question to which any reader will have a fun time discovering the answer.

            Scones andSensibility is packed with a cast of interesting characters including Jack the Nipper, the kite shop owner and Clementine, the older sister. But Polly won my heart with her throw-back ways. She prefers not getting bogged down in the world of iPhones and Wired Magazine, and instead loves the simple life of silk ribbons, doilies and romance books. Polly is no Patti (as in Patti Stanger (the Millionaire Matchmaker), but she’s well on her way! (Readers ages 9-12)

A SUMMER OF SUNDAYS (Egmont July 2013) “When you're the third of six kids, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle, but Sunday Fowler is determined that this summer she'll find the one thing that makes her stand out from her siblings. 

And when she discovers a silver box in the basement of the library her parents are renovating, she might just have found something to gain her the attention she so craves. Inside is a series of letters addressed to "The Librarian" and a manuscript. But who wrote them? With the help of annoying neighbor-turned-new-friend Jude, Sunday is determined to track down the author. And when she unveils this novel to the world, she'll be famous!

But uncovering this manuscript means stirring up secrets that some people in the town hoped to keep buried. And Sunday must decide if some things -- loyalty, trust, friendship -- are worth more than her name in the headlines.”  (Readers ages 10-14)

Lindsay Eland is the Co-Regional Advisor for the Rocky Mountain Region of the SCBWI and truly one of my favorite people on the planet, Earth. After reading her first book, SCONES AND SENSIBILITY, I knew I wanted her as my mentor. As you can tell by reading my book review posted way back in 2011, I love Lindsay’s writing. And you will, too. It’s why I’ve purchased both of her books over and over as gifts for my relatives.

Lindsay is the author of Scones and Sensibility (Egmont 2009) as well as A Summer of Sundays (Egmont 2013). Recent announcement in Publishers Marketplace:
