Welcome to Litsy!

Another day, another Drawlloween prompt used for a book choice. I‘ve had this one forever and I‘m happy to finally have a reason to start it.

Hey Litsy friends. I am going to an author reading in a couple of weeks with my favourite author Peter Robinson as well as Roddy Doyle. I have not read anything by him. Are there any fans out there who could recommend one of his books as a good place to start? Thanks!

Middle grade book about the children of Dublin battling the black dog of depression to save the adults and the city. Clever with several surprising spots of humor. Doyle is a dialogue master. A little repetitious, but child-empowering. Some important stuff here.

This little middle-grade book just stole my heart in one sitting. Beautiful, precious, important, sweet, touching, clever, funny... and brilliant.

(And oh how I want to go back to Dublin.)

Love this dedication! ❤️
