The Last Vestal Virgin by Lorraine Carey

There are many teaching opportunities here such as: rhyming, teaching colors and patterning.I’m grabbing this one for my early readers! I have never seen a Blue Bunny-but I have just read Russell Whitehead’s new novel and it is a gold mine for parents and teachers of children ages three to eight! This is a great read aloud or a read alone for early readers.Each page is picture supported with easy and bright illustrations.The text is simple and will have children easily mastering this book. When not writing you can find her at the beach or out boating around the island with her husband on their boat- The Angelica. Her passion is reading, writing book reviews and writing Fantasy novels for tweens to young adults. Lorraine Carey currently resides on Grand Cayman Island with her husband and dog, Matty. These books are available on Amazon.Ĭurrently she is finishing another historical fiction/fantasy, called The Last Vestal Virgin.This is another young adult novel about a teen who discovers she may just be one of the last vestals from ancient Rome and has returned to this lifetime to tend to unfinished business. Her love for the island and its exciting mystical lore has inspired her to write Jonathan’s Locket, having been fascinated with the stories that have come out of the Wreck of the Ten Sails. Book 2, Out of the Ashes, a Dean Banks Adventure has also been released. Mysteries of the Red Coyote Inn takes place in Arizona which holds a special place in her heart.
