The Story Behind my Writing

I started writing middle grade fiction as a young girl because I couldn’t find the kind of books I wanted to read. I wanted middle grade books that lined up with what the Bible says in Philippians 4:8, were in modern-day relatable settings, and that made me smile. This is why I started writing my middle grade fiction series, Dawn Chandler.

Contemporary Middle-Grade Fiction

Dawn Chandler

When Dawn’s parents announced they were going to homeschool her, on her 12th birthday no less, she felt like her world was falling apart. Normal kids are supposed to go to school, not read books at home. To make matters worse, they may be leaving the only home she’s ever known. What are her parents thinking?

Dawn and the Letters

Dawn Chandler is newly settled in Lone Pine, and she can’t wait for the family wedding. When she and her friend Moriah discover an old letter written during the Vietnam War, they hatch a plan for a grand wedding surprise. Forming the “Smokey’s Sleuths” group with their siblings, they intend to track down the letter’s author.

What people are saying about these middle grade fiction books…

“I really, really enjoyed this novel. In fact, now my daughter carries it around the house — it’s a fun, family-centric story with a main character who you immediately want to root for. The story’s engrossing, and interesting, and I can’t wait for the next book. We’re invested. Can’t wait to see where Eliza Noel takes us next!” -Rochelle, Mom

“Dawn Chandler is a beautifully written book about a young girl’s approach to a major life change, and how she learns to lean on God and her faith to manage the difficulties of starting over in a small town. I really enjoyed the author’s portrayal of family and I can’t wait to read the second book in the series.” -Laura Scott, Author

“Dawn learns a lot about herself and how to trust God’s plan for her life, even when she doesn’t exactly like the circumstances. I only wish I had this book when I was in middle school and adjusting to homeschool life. If you’re looking for a good clean read for your middle school daughters that instills God’s values into their hearts then this book is perfect for them! Mom approved!” -Amelia, Mom
