R.A.Ruegg’s THE MAKING OF BRIO McPRIDE is two novels in one: fifteen year-old Bree (also known as Brio) faces too many challenges in their short life – no mother, school bullies, missing father, and severe mental health issues. A bevy of experts surround them for diagnosis, yet Brio only feels ‘free’ when writing a look-alike Lord of the Rings novel. Both fictional journeys experience ups and downs – encountering very interesting characters and adult insights that will inspire readers.
