kingdom of dust is a junior library guild gold standard selection

​I'm thrilled to share that Kingdom of Dust, my West African-inspired middle grade fantasy, is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection! This is a huge honor and means that Kingdom of Dust now has an important boost in finding its readers. 

Junior Library Guild is a trusted organization that librarians and educators can use to find excellent books for their collections. On their website they state, "JLG titles are curated by our renowned editorial team who reads and reviews thousands of manuscript submissions each year (prior to publication) to choose the best, award-worthy books for our members. With nearly 95% of our selections going on to win awards, honors, starred reviews, and industry accolades, you can trust JLG to bring top-quality books to your library that will engage and appeal to your readers."

I'm honored that Kingdom of Dust will be included in the fall catalog of the Junior Library Guild and hopefully seen by lots of potential new readers!
