Inside they’re very different: Naomi loves order, regularity, and gymnastics, while Elodee is a wildly experimental cook and loudmouth. All their friends in their drab hometown of Juniper have agreed the family needs “a fresh start”—after what? We don’t know, but something has happened to their family that changed everything for them, and neither Naomi or Elodee, or their mom or dad, knows how to…

The Lost Girl by Anne Ursu
Identical twins struggle to re-define themselves in The Lost Girl, a fantasy for middle-grade readers. The Lost Girl by Anne Ursu. HarperCollins (Walden Pond), 2019, 355 pages. Reading Level: middle grades, ages 10-12 Recommended for: ages 10-14 “The two sisters were alike in every way, except for all the ways they were different.” Iris was the factual, practical one; Lark the dreamer.

GRAMMY® Award-winner Lecrae, Andy Mineo and the entire Reach Records lineup were “comin in hot” on Unashamed Forever Tour 2019 at Celebration Church in Richmond, VA on April 7th. KB had the church clapping, and GAWVI kept the “turnt” fans cooled down with a panoramic spray of cryo. Tedashii did not share his amazing testimony this time around, but his lyrics always inspire others to overcome personal tragedy. Not only a rapper, Trip Lee is a poet, author and pastor, and the depth of knowledge and experience rang true throughout his time on stage. 1K Phew and WHATUPRG brought a fresh trap sound that didn’t disappoint. At the end of…

Mack Brown ‘Covered’ Review
Mack BrownCovered (Sparrow) It’s the musical flourishes that move so sweetly alongside Mack Brock’s heartfelt vocal delivery and experiential lyrics that make Covered such a stunning yet short listen. The former Elevation Worship leader’s newest release is an atmospheric, affecting turn, one with a sensitivity for exact emotional touches that make each song sink deeper than most. “After All” follows a straightforward analogy of God’s grace rushing like a river after the listener, yet the musical choices somehow allow the images conjured to linger longer than you might expect. The instrumental build on “Still on Control,” the driving electricity of “King of Heaven,” and the powerful refrain of the title…
