About the Author

Becoming Rella B was a journey from chasing adulthood's conventional goals to embracing my passion for children's education. With backgrounds in education, business, and tech, I've come full circle, blending my love for writing and self-development.

My books consist of very relatable characters and storylines; ranging from being different at school, peer pressure or learning the fundamentals of money. I pride myself on creating books that will foster conversations within families. Most of my books are accompanied by coloring pages, stickers, bookmarks, and a workbook that coincides with the topic. I hope to provide a vast amount of educational value and endless smiles within the 'Rella B Books' community.

My mission? To inspire self-love, self-confidence, and self-expression in the next generation. 'Rella B' is here to encourage kids to think outside the box and relish their youth. I want to help them enjoy being little and explore the world through learning and play!

Spotlight: True Treasure by Laura Findley Evans

The Dragon and the Girl, Book 2

Middle School Grade Fantasy

Date Published: November 14, 2023

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

Dire news arrives from Cantington. Rumors of dragon sightings are stirring up fears based on old stories that depict dragons as blood-thirsty, fire-breathing monsters. To protect his people, the Overking decrees that all dragons must die.

Twelve-year-old Eliana knows the truth about dragons. After all, her best friend, Winston, is one! Fresh off an adventure where she saved her kingdom using her ability to communicate with Winston’s family, she is now excited to hone her skills through her Dragon Speaker apprenticeship. That is until she begins having a recurring nightmare of a scar-faced soldier, a poison-tipped spear, and an orb that glows in the dark. What’s even more worrisome is that Winston is having the same nightmare.

When they hear of the Overking’s decree, they realize their dreams may not be a coincidence. Eliana must quickly learn how to use her ability to understand dragons to help new friends–and old–solve a mystery about an ancient treasure and save the dragons from certain death. Along the way, there are lessons to be learned about the dangerous desire for fame, about the transitory nature of plans, and about how treasure can mean different things to different people…and dragons.

But as Luana gets to work, a formidable wall of evidence stands against her client, from physical proof linking him to the alleged crime scene to an eyewitness who insists he saw the accused commit the deed. Undeterred by the odds stacked against her, Luana is relentless in her quest to vindicate her client. Will her determination be enough to tip the scales of justice in their favor?
