As history and reality collide, Merida must decide: will she stay silent, or step up to become the leader she's meant to be?A powerful, time-twisting middle-grade adventure about courage, friendship, and discovering where you stand."I've really loved reading Dreaming Through History: Merida in Scotland! Honestly, this narrative just came together so well, with everything from themes to dialogue wrapping up a concise plot that had me Googling purely for my own interest and leaves me with the desire to learn more about Scotland!""Merida is simply a delight. Light enough to captivate a young audience, but with enough depth to keep me thinking about the story, even days after having first read it. I love the way you depict Merida - her coming-of-age arc feels earned, and I would genuinely love to see more within this same world! I know you mentioned that this was your first novel within this genre - I think you nail middle-grade thematic staples, and I know this book would have been a huge hit with me when I was younger!""DREAMING THROUGH HISTORY was a sweet, educational read that reminded me so much of the Magic Tree House Series but with the dreaming mechanics of Stravaganza. Merida's character arc was powerful and inspiring, and I loved reading about how she learned to stand up for not only herself, but others who didn't think they had a voice. It's a much needed story for young readers, especially those who think history surely can't apply to them."
