YOU LIKE MELANIE DICKERSON!! I’m not alone in the world! *ahem* sorry 😅 welcome Ella! I’m so glad you joined our group! I also love Nadine Brandes books 😁 I hope you’ll feel welcome in this group.

[❀ Ella ❀]

Thank you! And, yeah, my favorite Melanie Dickerson book is probably The Golden Braid or The Captive Maiden.

[Mary]

I’ve read both of those! The Golden Braid was how I first discovered her (on a random library shelf haha) and the captive maiden is the only one I own in the Hagenheim series 😁 they are both soo good!

[❀ Ella ❀]

Yeah 😂 I found The Golden Braid at the library too. I read The Captive Maiden because my nickname is Cinderella so it just sort of fit… like a glass slipper lol

[Mary]

That’s so cool! I recently read a Cinderella retelling. It was by Stefanie Lozinski in the Hope Ever After Series. It was rly good!

[❀ Ella ❀]

Oh cool! I’ll check it out!

[Mary]

(It will say #12 but they are all rly stand-alones hers is called A Midnight Hope 😉)

[❀ Ella ❀]

Thanks! (I think a lot of the Hagenheim books are standalone too lol)

I love playing basketball and writing.
