Genre: Contemporary YA
Retta Brooks thinks her life is on track after convincing her overprotective mom to stop home-schooling her and allow her go to Buckley High. She comes home from a night out with friends to find that her whole world has changed, and she has extremely hard decisions to make. Not to mention finding the answers to questions some people would rather she not know. Is she strong enough for what lies ahead?
Read an Excerpt
“Did he just hit us?” I asked, turning around. I couldn’t see anything behind us except the vague shape of a car with a silhouetted driver—it was so close the headlights weren’t visible.
“Yes!”
We were speeding up, already going way too fast for this road, but the car was still right on the truck’s bumper.
I clutched the dashboard as Jack tried zig-zagging a bit to shake the guy, but it didn’t work. Then the truck accelerated, and finally the guy fell back. Jack hit the brakes pretty hard, and I hit the door and was jerked to the floor as we took a corner sharply.
“Retta!” Jack yelled. “Are you okay?” He leaned over and gripped my arm, helping me back into the seat before speeding back up.
I put the seatbelt on before stealing a glance behind us. “I don’t see him.”
“No, I think he might not have made that corner. It’s what I was trying to do, but I never would have if I’d realized you didn’t have a seatbelt on!”
“I’m okay, it’s fine.” I shook my head, having to extricate myself from the top half of the seatbelt to pick up the phone off the floor.

Journey To Osm – The Blue Unicorn's Tale Reader Review – Believe
Reader Review
S.E.T
AMAZON UK
‘I had to learn to believe in myself.’
What a lovely line to end the narrative – but this is deeply representative of the trials we all face – in any situation.
I loved this story of Blue – saviour of the unicorns – but without metal or magic – or any belief in himself – the task he is destined to undertake since birth, seems hopeless.
This is a lovely tale of triumph over adversity, of the not so perfect stallion finding his courage in a sea of hostility.
It is written so beautifully, with exquisite drops of brilliance that you find in all classic fantasy fairytales, I can really see this as a Pixar animation.

Song Sharing Time
Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time was written about 20 years ago at a time when I had lost my faith in fairy tales. Obviously, I’ve overcome it now with my believe in unicorns. LOL.
If you’d like to hear more songs, just go to Sybrina Songs and you can listen to a bunch of them for free.
Happy Listening.
