Carole's Reading Corner

'Carole's Reading Corner' contains eight short stories suitable for children aged 7 to 12 years. They range in topic and were all originally published in Storm Cloud Publishing anthologies (2015–2020). Some of these anthologies were brought out for Christmas so two of the stories in 'Carole's Reading Corner' have a Christmas theme. Carole Lander (of Checkword Publishing) writes in a realistic style, often touching on themes of social justice but her stories are not didactic. Sometimes they are symbolic; for example, when she takes readers on an imaginary journey with a baby puffin who wants to reach the horizon. Carole has been a drama teacher and knows how young people 'tick'. She's a mother and grandmother too. Now, she pours all her creative ideas into writing for young readers.
