Dear reader, I hope this gift finds you well. Before you open this book, know that if you do, great adventure awaits you and dangers will be plenty. You will be transported to distant places in long ago times; you will meet remarkable women, both good and not so good, who changed the world; you will face perils unlike anything you have ever come across in your young life; and you will learn a great deal. When you open this book, reader, there is no going back. There will be no return to who you used to be. If you are ready, proceed, but don't say I didn't warn you. With love and care, Your humble author When Ava Jane receives a magic book as a gift for her twelfth birthday, she doesn't think it's actually magical...until it literally explodes. Now she's off on adventures with the book to witness remarkable moments in women's history and maybe learn a few things along the way. Book 1 of an ongoing series.
