Maria Olon Tsaroucha fuses Method acting with quantum physics in her dynamic system of Perceptual Acting and Directing. She offers exercises for the actor to use in cultivating awareness to deepen the conscious connection with the character and all its possible iterations, making space for the actor to perform with present moment awareness. Recommended for readers with a basic understanding of quantum and meta-physics.

I liked revisiting the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. I visited the beautiful museum during college. Also liked that Uncle Matthew likes watching Doctor Who.

I've really enjoyed this series. I love how the girls have unique gifts that make the team work well together. Each book has a color motif, and each story focuses on a different spy craft, with notes at the end. A great series for pre-Nancy Drew fans!

Another fun caper with the Petite Private Eyes and the Secret Spy Society.

A fun adventure mystery with delightful illustrations. I loved learning about the real Lady Spies. The book design is lots of fun, too; black and white illustrations with a feature color (in this case yellow). And this story features the fabulous Josephine Baker! I would have loved this as a young reader. I'm looking forward to more spy shenanigans!

This book was great fun, a fairytale told out of order and filled with rich nonsense and wisdom. The author speaks directly to the reader, much like A. A. Milne's Winne-the-Pooh, adding to the whimsy. The absurd, magical chaos is reminiscent of Terry Pratchett. The whole thing is silly, charming, and deeply tender.
