My haul from the Raise A Reader book sale - it‘s on again tomorrow. Anyone see a favourite book? 📚 where should I start? ❤️📚🐉

Apparently there is no age group Nina LaCour can't write for? This transitional chapter book for ages 7-10 was very cute and charming, with a realistic feisty little 9-year-old protagonist named Ella. Ella is the self-imposed expert on the apartment house in San Francisco (and its inhabitants) where she lives with her two moms. Lovely depiction of community and queer parents! Sweet illustrations as well. #QueerBooks

Detailed description of the disaster following quake and fire of April 18, 1906 in San Francisco. There were a lot of blowing up of buildings during the fire and shooting of civilians, but it did bring people together for a while no matter the differences of class or race.

I am reading another one about SF earthquake and fire for more details.

Good account but TMI if you just want 1906 SF events only. A lot on plate tectonics, new geology science, and details on the Richter Scale. A bigger quake is coming at any time!

Could have been better.

Starting to read about great earthquake of 1906.

I thought the mc and her best friend were well drawn characters. I enjoyed the epilogue, it‘s interesting how we look back on friendships in our lives and often see them differently and more clearly. I think of Bob Dylan‘s line
‘Ain‘t it hard when you discover that he really wasn‘t where it‘s at .. ‘
The good writing kept me going until the end , but I felt disconnected from the book. A pick/so-so.
