|author=Louise Kay Stewart and Eve Lloyd Knight
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=''Rule breakers. Risk takers. Rebel women. Law makers. A celebration of women rallying around the globe to win the vote.''
Let's just get straight to it. I loved ''Rebel Voices: The Rise of Votes for Women'' . And I can't let a review pass without a brief note on the fabulous production values. The cover is stunning and deeply impactful as you can see. It has that lovely, bookish smell. The paper is thick and heavy. Everything about it tells you that this is a book with interesting and important information. It simply begs to be picked up and read. Full marks to Wren and Rook for this investment.

|summary=Makena was born and raised in the city of Nairobi but she dreams of mountains, in particular Mount Kenya. When her father takes her on her first real exploration of the mountain, and she gets a brief glimpse of a strange sparkling fox, Makena thinks life can't get any better. Within weeks, however, her perfect world is shattered. Makena finds herself scratching out an existence in the city slums. She contracts cholera and almost dies. Luckily a pair of young charity workers are led to her by a fleeting image of a fox and offer her a new start and a trip to the Scottish Highlands. But will Makena be able to accept their kindness?
