But are you young readers and fans impatient for The Squad: Rising’s release in 2025 and a simple chapter (or a few chapters if you sign up to the newsletter on my website) won't do? Have no fear! My billowing bookshelf has plenty of books I have read, loved, and approve of for my fans! I cover middle-grade and YA novels alike, strictly Christian or, if secular, clean and appropriate for even all you homeschool kiddos.
UPDATES!! This video came out a good while after I recorded it (as I note during it), so here are some updates about the series I cover (see series list below):
- LION WARRIOR! The final book in "Lightraider Academy"--*jaw drops* okay, I know I mention "Songkeeper Chronicles" being my favorite series, but maaaybe it has since slid into 2nd-ish place because the complete "Lightraider Academy" series is forever my favorite now!! The allegory and action and overall brilliance in "Lion Warrior" does not fail!
- HYBRID! The second book in "Hybrid Series" arrived shortly after I finished recording this video. It was amazing! The worldbuilding is definitely a top reason to read "Hybrid Series"--a few events feel pretty predictable, but somehow the characters never seem to see them coming? Enough to the point I start guessing there's actually a huge conspiracy to give the characters the benefit of the doubt (and I'm only kinda half-right)?
- OF SEA AND SMOKE! I finished it a good while after I recorded this video! Oh my word, the complications never end! And that ending?! Oh man, I won't spoil it, but let's just say I finished reading it at like 11 PM and was like, "Uh, now how do I just put it back on my shelf and go to bed like it's all good?!"

THE SQUAD SERIES DESCRIPTION: Peacekeeping is a privilege… and a punishment.
The world of Neftar, inhabited by animal people, brims with advanced technology, fantastical beasts… and plenty of hardships. Freedom once reigned supreme-now, selfish evils seek to tear freedom down.
Tina the wolf and her squad of powerful siblings have become peacekeepers and freedom fighters for their people. But Tina herself harbors a dangerous secret. In the midst of freeing her kin, can she free herself from the bonds of her secret?
I write fantasy/sci-fi middle grade novellas with Christian values and often incorporate anti-slavery themes. Kindled with passion for children-especially the homeschool and foster kids-my ultimate goal is to show them the hope and promises of our Lord Jesus Christ, whether they have big dreams hindered by insecurities or simply long for new friends on the page. My flagship series, The Squad: Rising, is meant to deliver just that, portraying young heroes from a dark background who learn to rise beyond their past, form their own family, and help their world, because they’re the only ones who can.
Lots of warm hugs (or a homemade bookmark if you're not a hugger),
Rachel
