Lucinda from The Outcasts by Kathleen Kent and Grace from the Accidentals by Minrose Gwin. I think they‘d help each other out.

I like multiple POVs - The Accidentals is 🙃

Finished this one today on my day off thanks to TS Cristobol. A fairly calm rainy day here in New Orleans. Pretty good book, I felt like it could have ended a little sooner, but dragged on a bit at the end to tie up a lot. I guess I‘m happy it finished that way, though. Better than ending wishing there were more. A read from my #bookspin list but a #nospin from this month @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Great review!!! 4y

This is a fun YA book. Someone is dumping waste in the harbor. Noah tries to catch them in order to prove his father isn't totally crazy. It's fun.

1. Flush. A middle grade book by a Florida guy. 2. F. Scott Fitzgerald. 3. Ferris Bueller: one of my all time favorites. So clever. 4. Fries! #manicMonday #letterF

Summer is upon the Lovely household! Summer reading for the kids is a must! (I'm that mom) Along with the reading, I also have questions for them to answer to keep them honest....

My new lineup for #24/48 readathon this weekend. I have never read Hatchet, so I thought this would be a good time. Then I went for a few more YA and I'm hoping to read a few. I also found a big display of the Bookshots by James Patterson. I thought these short mysteries would be perfect quick reads. I also have a few graphic novels on the way. I have never read one before so I thought this will be a good time to try them out.

Jenshootsweddings Looks like a great plan to me! 8y
DivineDiana I want to try one of the Book Shots! 8y

Mdargusch 👍🏼 @Jenshootsweddings The shorter the better. 😊 8y
Mdargusch I had never heard of Bookshots @DivineDiana but that kind of book was exactly what I was looking for - short and sweet. I think my husband will like them too. He can't sit and read for hours like I can. 8y
Mdargusch @intothehallofbooks I was hoping someone would tell me it was a great book. I have just never read it. I just read Anne of a Green Gables for the first time and loved it. 8y
Reviewsbylola Hatchet is really good. I think we read it in school . . . 5th grade maybe? 8y
josie281 Hatchet (and all the series) is my oldest son's favorite. 8y
emilyhaldi Alex will be so excited if you like your first graphic novel 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 8y

This book for young adults is packed with literary elements, descriptive imagery, phenomenal characters, and fabulous vocabulary. I have read this book as a read aloud to 2 third grade classes and one fifth grade class. Discussions on how humans impact the environment will surely take place.

I really liked the thinking behind the plot but I think I am a higher reading level then the people who this book was aimed at.
