Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel August 2022: Playing By the Book features the book THE VERDIGRIS PAWN by Alysa Wishingrad.

Beau is the exact opposite of what the heir should be, so he is kept locked away, just another pawn in his father’s quest for ultimate power.

But when he’s shown the secrets his father has kept hidden, for the first time, Beau begins to question everything he’s ever been told. Teaming up with a girl and a fiery runaway, Beau must go from pawn to player before the Land tears itself apart.
