Quiet evening reading at home while matzo ball soup cooks on the stovetop! With the 2nd quarter wrapping up, with it looking like another straight A report card, the kid deserves a night without homework or studying!
What we‘re reading:
Hubby: Birdbox
Maya: tagged book
Me: Phantom by Jo Nesbø
pickMy next #homeschoolbookclub meeting is still three weeks away, but most of my kids have told me they‘ve already finished The Fourteenth Goldfish. Luckily the sequel just came out, and I figured I‘d better read it too. This is a pretty enjoyable follow up, although I felt the historical scientists, friendship elements, and tidy endings were laid on a bit too thick for me this time. Definitely read the other first. #kidlit #middlegrade
pick5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ full review LT and GR
This was the perfect sequel. Melvin disappeared for a year. He had to get used to being a teenager again, since the age 77 was so a few weeks ago. But now he is back in Ellies and her mother‘s life. Ellie convinces Melvin they should team up for the Science fair. He does have two PhDs after all.
This book is full of interesting science phenomenon, but it is the story of the family that makes it a stand out!
My small library haul. I am still reading in between unpacking boxes from the move!
pickI think I enjoyed this one more than the first book! It delves into Ellie's friendships even more, and perfectly captures those awkward moments that sometime plague them. Melvin was much more tolerable in this and we get to see a lot more of his softer side. This is such a cute and science friendly series.
Just got this one in the mail!
The Third Mushroom is the sequel to The Fourteenth Goldfish and a Middle Grade book about a young girl and her grandpa head into a science fair.
This releases on September 4th!
This seems really cute! I haven't read the first book, so I'll be tackling that sometime soon.
