River Magic by J M Brown

Hi guys!
 So my post today is a review on the book "River Magic" by J M Brown. I hope you enjoy it.

Product Description:
Aimee and Brenda, fourteen-year-old orphans, meet up in an alternate history version of St. Louis, Missouri Territory in 1822.

In this alternate history, slavery has been abolished in the United States shortly after the ratification of the Constitution in 1789. The Iroquois Nations fought on the side of the United States instead of the British during the revolution, and the Iroquois have maintained their independence and formed a strong alliance with the United States against the Indians of the western plains and the great powers of Europe who seek to reclaim North America.

While seeking a lost letter, the girls get swept up in a conspiracy against the alliance between the United States and the Iroquois Confederacy.

River Magic won the GOLD First Place Award for best young adult novel of 2012 from the Maryland Writer's Association.
My Review:
Okay for those of you that know nothing of this book it is part of a series called  "A False Magic". I am not sure if this books storyline has anything to do with the storyline of the other books but I had no issues understanding what was going on without reading the other books. With that being said "River Magic" is a story following the life's of two young women named Brenda and Aimee in history, but this is not the version of history that we learned about in school. In this version slavery became illegal after the validation of the constitution. The girls are hired by a mysterious man who asks them to become messengers. While carrying these top-secret messages they run into trouble occasionally.  I actually really liked this book. I have always found history interesting but with most young adult novels written on history they are either entangled with a love story or are poorly written. This book on the other hand was neither of those things. I thought it was very well written and rather enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this book.
You can find this book at amazon for $0.99 for the kindle edition and $8.99 for the paperback copy. You can also find it at smashword for $0.99 for the electronic edition.
Thanks for reading, Knikki.
