Top Pick! On The Noble Servant
I couldn’t stop reading! Melanie has done what so many other historical novelists have tried and failed: she’s created a heroine that is at once both smart and self-assured without seeming modern. A woman so fixed in her time and place that she is able to speak to ours as well.
Siri Mitchell
Award-winning author of Chateau of Echoes on The Beautiful Pretender
Dickerson is a masterful storyteller with a carefully crafted plot, richly drawn characters, and a detailed setting. The reader is easily pulled into the story.
Christian Library Journal
on The Noble Servant
Dickerson breathes life into the age-old story of Rapunzel, blending it seamlessly with the other YA novels she has written . . . The character development is sold, and she captures religious medieval life splendidly.
Booklist
on The Golden Braid
Dickerson spins a retelling of Robin Hood with emotionally compelling characters, offering hope that love may indeed conquer all.

on The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest
Readers will cheer for Rapunzel’s courage as she rises above her overwhelming past. The surprising way Dickerson weaves threads of this enchanting companion novel with those of her other Hagenheim series is simply delightful.
