Chapter Books for kids, by kids
Pardon us for diverting your attention for a moment from web design. Recently, Riverbluff Creative’s publishing division released two new children’s chapter book titles written for kids, by kids. After an 8 year hiatus from publishing, Jemma Swift’s latest release, the Sequel to her debut book Forever Riders, is finally available. Additionally, a work created collaboratively by three young authors was published. Super Girls has all of the elements of a fantasy adventure story that young readers hope to read about. We hope you enjoy these new titles, and we are proud to feature the work of young and budding artists and authors.
