Tarpon Springs, FL, February 01, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Readers follow Becky Chalmers as new experiences change her from a boy-skeptical girl to a blushing young lady with a crush or two. Becky emerges from the fantasy of teen magazines that focus on current pop stars to a tender relationship with a boy who becomes a little bit more than a casual friend. At first, Becky’s best friend and confidant accompanies her to a school dance giving Becky advice. Her parents also express their wisdom. Then Becky listens to her own heart.

Typical teen settings: middle school hallways, the school bus, the community recreation center, the local bakery, and designated “alone” sanctuaries, are where Becky learns through life-changing events.

Green blends eight precious vignettes into a lovely, cohesive, and compelling tale of the roller coaster life of teens. The inevitable teenage angst and the lessons learned by each character relate well to that of all adolescents. The author intends for the reader to reflect on the surprise ending. “Becky Likes Boys” is an elegant story that will stand the test of time, a classic in the making.

Diane Campbell-Green lives and works out of her home in the sponge capital of Florida, Tarpon Springs. Ms. Campbell-Green has spent the last three years writing a series of children’s books about growing up in the Delaware River town of Yardley, Pennsylvania. In this sixth book of the Becky Chalmers series, Becky begins to perceive the boys she’s grown up with in a different way. She lives in a 1960s neighborhood overflowing with children and colorful adult characters. The author is the recipient of several Story Monster and Reader’s Favorite Awards.

This new release is available on Amazon.com. If you would like more information about author Diane Campbell Green and “Becky Likes Books” or the Becky Chalmers series, please visit her website at DCGBooks.com.

New Children’s Book ‘Mocha, the Ground Fairy’ Follows a Guinea Pig Determined to Fly

New Children’s Book ‘Mocha, the Ground Fairy’ Follows a Guinea Pig Determined to Fly

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Dr. Leslie Merida-Gonzalez has published a new children’s book, "Mocha, the Ground Fairy," through Fulton Books. The story follows Mocha, a brown, fluffy guinea pig who attempts to fly using wings built from leaves and twigs, only to land, each time, skidding on her bottom, which earns her the teasing nickname from her fellow guinea pigs.

Merida-Gonzalez is a music teacher in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where she works with children with varying needs. She holds a doctorate in education with a focus on exceptional student education, a background she says shapes how she thinks about reaching different kinds of young readers. According to the announcement, the guinea pig characters in the book are drawn from pets her own children had growing up.

The book centers on Mocha’s refusal to quit despite ridicule from her peers, drawing courage, in the story, from her grandmother’s fairy tales. "Through Mocha’s journey, I wanted to remind children that falling doesn’t mean failing," Merida-Gonzalez said in the announcement. "Every stumble is simply another step toward finding the magic that’s been inside them all along." The publisher describes the book as aimed at encouraging children to keep trying after setbacks and to embrace what makes them different.

"Mocha, the Ground Fairy" is available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through Fulton Books’ website.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees stories like Mocha’s as part of a steady stream of small-press children’s books built around a simple, repeatable idea: a animal protagonist, a visible flaw, and a lesson about persistence. The appeal isn’t novelty, it’s execution, and that’s worth watching for in any read-aloud picture book pitched this way.

Fulton Books Author Abagail Lynn Releases Fantasy Adventure “The Rebel”

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Abagail Lynn has released a new novel, "The Rebel," a fantasy adventure centered on an unsuspecting character drawn into a clash between two worlds where the kingdom’s fate hangs in the balance. The book is published through Fulton Books.

According to the announcement, the story follows an unsuspecting hero thrust into extraordinary circumstances as tensions between the two realms escalate. The publisher describes the novel as blending adventure, romance, and themes of hope, with the protagonist discovering hidden strength while confronting questions about sacrifice, belonging, and what it means to stand against long odds.

The paperback edition runs 846 pages and was published in April 2026, according to retail listings for the title. Lynn’s narrative approach, per the announcement, pairs action sequences with emotional character work, aiming for a story that moves between danger and quieter, more personal moments.

"The Rebel" is available in bookstores and through major online retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

For Studio CarryOnHarry, the appeal of this one will come down to execution: epic-fantasy premises built on a "two worlds collide" setup are common, and the 846-page length suggests Lynn is aiming for a fuller immersion in her world rather than a quick read.
