This was a really good book but is there anything narrated by Marin Ireland that she doesn‘t make better??

I long for the days of my childhood and that of Brunswick. When you weren't expected home until the streetlights came in and neighbors were our best friends and even closer than family. As a parent, it's just different now- but maybe not- and we are just hyper aware of who we permit with our kids.

I loved this. Some aspects of it reminded me of the 1990s movie Casper. I enjoyed the story very much. Narrated very well. The main female character irked me in the beginning but when she smartened up I was relieved. I adored her friends, the 80s era, the music, the history, and of course the love story. Beware, this ends on a cliffhanger.

This week's #middlegrademonday theme is inspired by our family's trip to the ER this weekend that ended in an appendectomy for my son! I also love the tagged book- a heartfelt story about a girl dealing with her mother's illness. I'd love to hear your recommendations!

My second medical literature of this year!
Written in verse-form, a story of an Indian-American girl on the two worlds she belongs to and how she navigates and understands that while coming to terms with her mother‘s illness.

She's great, not just at singing/making music but also as a writer, a chronicler and making sense of stuff.
I was a late comer to EBTG in the 90s so this was good to understand her, and their, beginnings and journey.

This short book tells the story of an unnamed young woman, wife of a distant North East Scottish farmer. When 3 Italian pow's are posted on the farmland she builds a relationship with them. Beautifully told but also sparse in substance this was a bk I enjoyed + suspect needs a reread. Was recommended when I was on a janice Galloway 3 bk session + I heard her rave about it. I'd recommend for a gentle read with lots to think abt + writing to enjoy

Just watched Brats, the documentary on Hulu and this book was mentioned in it. The documentary was interesting and so well done. Now I have to read this because I am a huge fan of those films and the actors that were part of The Brat Pack.
