Welcome to Litsy!

Now obviously I'm not the target audience for this book, but I really enjoyed reading it. There's the usual type of middle grade conflict set up between the group & bully boy Logan, which is mainly resolved by the end, but the actual weirdness or figments was a great idea for the story. It's very entertaining with the right mix of horror & humour with a Stranger Things/Goonies vibe. 4🌟

Interesting idea but only mildly impressive. A group of kids discover an old boathouse and inside are strange nicknacks and a well with mysterious liquid in it, so of course they touch it. Strange events happen and now they have to solve it. Very little was explained about how the liquid worked and the final event was lack luster, it was one of those vague winning battles, you don‘t really know, it just happens. Tyler was hilarious though.

I finished this book with a hot mug of cocoa on this dreary afternoon. The story had an interesting premise, but it just didn‘t wow me.

Wishing everyone that celebrates a very happy Thanksgiving! I‘m so grateful to share this reading community with all of you. I‘m taking a little bit to fit in a few pages before all the family festivities later today.

For the past three weekends that I've put together a #WeeklyForecast, this #MiddleGrade book has been on my list of upcoming reads. I finally started it during silent reading with my students this week.

I ordered this book for my daughter but I‘m loving the cover. I will share her review when she finishes reading it.

Lots of buzz about this one. I should probably pull my copy out.

I thought this one would be amazing but I ended up DNFing around the 45% mark. I couldn‘t keep the characters straight (they had no personality) and the story was just dragging. I let my godson read it and he bailed 30% in. No thanks.

Move over Stranger Things and come back to this sleepy town Stephen King's It, this upcoming collaboration between Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs is sure to spook middle readers. Four friends discover a secret island that promises dreams but instead creates nightmares.
