Happy Book Birthday to "The Broken Edge of the World" by Alena Bruzas! One of our teens, Myra, had the chance to read this book before it was published and here's what she thought 🧵 #BookSky #BookReview #BrambleTeens
The Broken Edge of the World by Alena Bruzas is placed in a flower bed.Myra says the book reveals what happens behind closed doors and keeps you thinking about the truth. It's gripping to watch the characters uncover secrets that change everything. The plot twist near the end is powerful enough to make the story stand out.
