Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I thought some of you might be interested in a new book by Erin Manning, a Catholic homeschooling mom who blogs at And Sometimes Tea. She recently self-published a sci-fi book for the 8-12 year old set called The Telmaj. I saw it mentioned on a blog and downloaded the Kindle version for my daughter and me to read. We both enjoyed it - my daughter especially. It was great to find sci-fi that was fun and interesting to read but also didn't veer into touchy territory like many sci-fi novels do.

A fair warning - this is a first novel and I thought the first few pages were a bit rough. But once she gets going (about three to four pages in), it improves considerably. My daughter read it over a week ago and we are still having conversations about some of the cool plot points.

Print version
The Kindle version (btw, this one is available free for borrowing if you are a Prime member and own a Kindle)

And no, I don't know Erin Manning - we just enjoyed the book and I wanted to try to provide a little word of mouth (keyboard?) advertising!
