The Last Song
Finalist -  The Manitoba Book Awards’ McNally Robinson Book for Young People Award“With spies and informers on all sides, the story builds to a gripping climax… readers will easily be caught by the young girl’s personal heartbreak and conflict and will want to find out more.”—Booklist“The Last Song, is sure to garner the same critical attention as her previous novels for its rhythmic and lyrical prose and lush descriptions of setting that cement the reader in the sights and sounds of Medieval Spain and the harsh brutalities of the Spanish Inquisition…. Isabel is a strong and insightful character whose voice will resonate with readers as she lingers long after one has finished reading.”—Canadian Children’s Book News“This historical fiction novel is set in Toledo, Spain in the 1490s, surrounded by the backdrop of the Spanish Inquisition…. The climax of the novel will set the reader in a spiraling whirlwind of intense emotions. This novel is a great read for young adults who enjoy historical fiction dealing with horrifying persecution and the will to survive.”  —VOYA
