I'm Linda Jo Martin, known as the Book Lady on YouTube. I'm the author of River Girl, a historical novel about a girl living in the Klamath River Valley in the 1920's. I'm also the author of the yet-to-be-published Antediluvian Adventures Series.

I tend to focus on the Newbery Medal list of middle grade and young adult novels, but may also review picture books and other children's literature.

This is my novel, available at Amazon only. It is for ages 8 to 15. It is a historical novel about a girl living in the Klamath River Valley of Northern California, c. 1920.
