Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve loved all the Beryl I read this past year, and this was no exception. I really enjoyed Stella, a most unusual young girl and her start in the theatre. My only issue is that I don‘t really understand what happened at the end of the book. I keep going over it in my mind. 🤔

Winnie is just so uninteresting MC and that might have made this hard to read. Winnie was so flat, she was just her holes.

This maybe had more plot than the other books but I am not sure how skillful the author is to write. The story didn't feel intriguing enough to keep me interested.

I love this middle grade Peter Pan retelling by Muscogee Creek author Cynthia Leitich Smith. It focuses on two stepsisters & addresses racism straightforwardly in the text. Wendy & Lily immediately speak up when Peter or the Lost boys use the word ‘Injun,‘ for example. On many occasions the omniscient narrator breaks the fourth wall & addresses readers directly—I like that too. A fun read with satisfying depth. #Indigenous #kidlit

Lily: I‘m Muscogee Creek from the Tulsa ‘burbs. I came for my brother and stepsister. Have you seen them? He‘s four, and she‘s annoying.

This story teaches the lesson to children that it is okay to grow up even though it may be scary.
