#NewYearNewBooks Day 29: #InvolvesPoison - this book takes the reader to the realm of the marvelous and the strange, what with books moving of their own free will, or the presence of malignant books that poison other books - #InvolvesPoison- around them, not to mention a wild book that will only make itself visible to the right reader, under the right circumstances.

The Wild Book | Juan Villoro

A super fun middle grade adventure about books! It was fun seeing character relationships grow, and reading about all of the book shenanigans. I also enjoyed that the uncle seems neurodivergent, based on the things he enjoys and the particular things he can‘t stand (like when the phone rings it utterly disrupts his entire day and feels like the loudest sound ever). #BooksAboutBooks #MiddleGrade #Adventure #NeuroDiversity

The Wild Book | Juan Villoro

pick

This was a fun adventure about books! My favorite topicš�° Juan spends the summer with his eccentric uncle who lives in a unique library where the books have a mind of their own. The plot was unique and I enjoyed watching Juan reconnect with his family after struggling to accept his parent‘s divorce. The ending was very sweet as well. My only complaint is the way Indigenous people were stereotypically portrayed (in Juan‘s favorite book series).

I know this is a middle grade book but oh my, I absolutely adore it. It captures the love of books and how they have a different meaning to each reader. It is so full of marvellous descriptions that I could write a whole post just using quotesā€¦it is truly special and with its magic, will appeal to book lovers everywhere and of all ages.

Fog Magic

Johanna414 Oh I haven‘t read any of these! And they all sound really good! If I had to vote, maybe Diary from the Edge, Ghost Road or Withering-by-Sea? 6y

IndoorDame I agree. These all look great, and they‘re all new to me! I‘d probably vote for diary from the edge, withering by the sea or fog magic, but honestly I‘d be happy reading any of them. 6y

LibrarianRyan I think I‘m the 3rd to say diary at the end of the world. 6y
