Adults are going to dive into the fabulous Welsh series by Sharon Kay Penman with “Here Be Dragons.”

“Thirteenth-century Wales is a divided country, ever at the mercy of England’s ruthless, power-hungry King John. Llewelyn, Prince of North Wales, secures an uneasy truce by marrying the English king’s beloved illegitimate daughter, Joanna, who slowly grows to love her charismatic and courageous husband. But as John’s attentions turn again and again to subduing Wales—and Llewelyn—Joanna must decide where her love and loyalties truly lie.” Excerpt via www.goodreads.com

The kids are going on their own little adventure with “More Adventures of the Great Brain” by John D. Fitzgerald.

“Has Tom Jenkins, a.k.a. the Great Brain, given up his con-artist ways for a bicycle?  Not for long.  Soon the Great Brain is back to his old tricks, swindling and trading, even convincing the whole town there’s a prehistoric monster on the loose.  But when someone robs the bank, even the police are stumped.  Can the Great Brain solve the crime and put the crooks behind bars?” via www.goodreads.com
