Welcome to Litsy!

I still prefer the graphic novels, too. More of those, please.

I wasn't sure how the addition of Mallory in Stacey's absence would be, but I enjoyed it. I was also obsessed with horse books in 6th grade. I did NOT enjoy Stoneybrook being racist AF to Jessi and her family. Yikes. We'll see how that develops over the following books. I also didn't really get why the BSC was so terrible to Mallory throughout. 4 ⭐️

(From King Lear to the BSC. I contain multitudes.) I liked this one a little more than most of the other BSC books I‘ve reread thus far—it doesn‘t have the boring side bits that have nothing to do w/the main plot. I also appreciated that Martin introduced Jessi & didn‘t shy away from the racism her family faced in their new town, tho I do wish Mallory had been a bit bolder when she witnessed it. But still, an important one for kids to read! 3/5 ⭐️

Probably the last one I‘ll binge read for now. Personally I feel like I can really relate to Mallory.
