In crafting the Aria & Liam series, I aimed to create a bridge connecting the past's wisdom to the present, leveraging history's lessons while making them fun. Through the escapades of two inseparable friends, I wanted to emphasize the value of friendship, resilience, and humor.

The Coded Papyrus
The writing is delightful with details that will amuse children. The story also includes vocabulary that adds whimsy to the story as well as teaching middle-grade children a fun set of new words such as exuberant, ultimatum, quagmires, transcendent, nostalgic, gesticulating, meticulously, tyrannical, and cylindrical. The Coded Papyrus serves as a great resource to inspire children to love history through adventure, mystery, humor, and a delightful writing style.

Enigma in Rome
What an adventure. Aria and Liam is an unusual book series that rewrites famous historical events. This is the second installment and it has an interesting premise. In this book, Aria and Liam visit ancient Roman monuments, immerse themselves in the culture, and meet famous historical figures. They also concoct crazy and funny ideas to get out of trouble and solve problems. The story also covers sensitive topics like bullying, parent-child relationships, the importance of education, and providing for the vulnerable in society. Caesar was targeted for assassination because he wanted to implement policies that would benefit the poor. This was a noble cause that both kids and adults should apply in their lives. What I loved the most about this book is the way Coline Monsarrat hid the identity of the mysterious mastermind of the assassination until the final chapters. Brilliantly written.

The Cursed Empress
By reading "Aria & Liam: The Cursed Empress," by Coline Monsarrat, you will be taken on a wonderful and thrilling adventure to the heart of Atlantis. In this exciting story, young characters Aria and Liam go on a perilous mission to break a curse placed on the Empress of Atlantis. The narrative begins as Aria and Liam discover a crystal grotto during a furious sailing race. From then on, they are immersed in a realm filled with mysteries and ancient predictions. Deeper into their exploration of Atlantis, they are met by perilous currents, strange scientific experiments, and trickster species that were previously assumed to be extinct. Notable also is the way in which "Aria & Liam: The Cursed Empress" examines concepts like friendship, devotion, and the efficacy of good intentions. The unrelenting commitment Aria and Liam show to breaking the curse and restoring peace to Atlantis is a powerful reminder of the power of compassion and understanding in the face of adversity.

The Sun Disk
This action-packed tale weaves together humor, history, and friendship as the duo relies on wit and unexpected alliances to alter the fate of an ancient civilization. Author Coline Monsarrat’s vivid storytelling and well-crafted characters immediately drew me into the thrilling world of Aria and Liam. The duo's courage and resourcefulness as they navigated dangerous situations added different dimensions to the plot as they each got their chance to shine, and the intriguing mix of ancient civilization and mystical elements was refreshing and original to explore. The seamless blending of history and fantasy made the book both educational and entertaining for young readers. One of the elements I particularly enjoyed was the emphasis on friendship, teamwork, and ingenuity, as it reinforced valuable life lessons for the target audience. Overall, Aria & Liam: The Sun Disk is a fantastic middle-grade adventure that transports readers on a thrilling quest filled with excitement and discovery, and I’d highly recommend it to young readers looking for an enthralling blend of history, adventure, and friendship.

You Are Not an Imposter
You Are Not an Imposter by Coline Monsarrat is beautifully written and easy to read. It is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of imposter syndrome, such as its causes, symptoms, and how it can affect different areas of life. The author includes personal anecdotes that make the book so valuable and relatable, and case studies that illustrate the concepts she is helping us grasp. One of the most valuable things about this book is that it offers practical tips and strategies to help us overcome this condition. To a certain extent, I guess we all doubt ourselves, which is why this book is essential reading. I thank the author for sharing her wisdom with us and warmly recommend this guide.
