4 stars — I…don’t read Middle Grade books. I just don’t have a lot of interest, probably because I cringe at my middle grade self when I think on the past. It’s a rough age, no doubt about that. But I saw this on Chirp, and it had Julia Whelan as a narrator, and I […]

5 stars — This book blew me away in all the best ways. It was adorable. It was thought provoking. It was emotional. It was everything I love about YA, with the added bonus of expanding my horizons in multiple ways through double diversity. I honestly don’t even know what to say, except that Liz was […]

3.5 stars — This was a pretty cute, light story with a good dose of woo-woo. Normally, I am not a super big fan of woo-woo, but I found that the way it was presented in the book was just as an important aspect of who Sam and his family were…not in a holier than […]
4.5 stars — This one surprised me with how much I loved it. Both narrators were new for me, but I enjoyed them both. They had great pacing, great emotions, and pretty good distinct voices.
