A middle-grade novel-in-verse that reimagines the childhood of Nova Scotia Giantess Anna Swan—a woman who has captivated the world for over two centuries. With backmatter chronicling the real Anna Swan’s later life and a brief history of the region she grew up in, Swan is a brilliantly imagined story of faith, family, and learning to love the body you’re in.

Into the Current

As Daniel revisits important memories, he begins to understand how his choices have shaped who he is. The novel explores themes such as regret, personal growth, and the importance of making the most of the time we have.
This book changed the way I view the value of life and reminded me that every choice can have a lasting impact. As summer is approaching, it has encouraged me to focus on improving myself, appreciating the people around me, and making better use of the time I have. Overall, Into the Current is a meaningful and well-written novel that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys reflective stories with important life lessons.

Book: The Teen Sex Trade
By Jade H. Brooks
The Teen Sex Trade is a nonfiction novel about the authors story within the teen sex trade. It follows Jade through her childhood and teens to tell a rich and engaging story about escaping and building a better life for her adult self.
Even though I don’t usually read biographies , I really liked this book. I however found this book to be hard to read due to some of the content discussed during the book.
My favourite part of this book was learning about Jade’s childhood and grasping the unfolding history of her life.
I rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars
I recommend this book.

Nova Scotia Politics 1945-2020: From Macdonald to MacNeil
"Nova Scotia Politics 1945-2020: From Macdonald to MacNeil" by Graham Steele is an engaging overview of Nova Scotia’s political history from 1945 to 2020. Steele combines historical facts with his own experience as a former politician, making the book both informative and personal. He explains important political events, leaders, and issues in a clear and easy-to-understand style, which keeps the reader interested even if they are not very familiar with politics.
One of the book’s strengths is its balanced perspective. Steele discusses both the successes and failures of different governments while showing how politics affected everyday people in Nova Scotia. The book also highlights important topics such as economic development and environmental controversies.
Although some sections may feel detailed for readers who are not interested in politics, the book is overall insightful and well written. It is a valuable read for anyone wanting to learn more about Nova Scotia’s history and government.
I recommend this book.
