A Pam and Penny story from the 1950s; I still adore these. 😀
so-soMeh. It started off well, but began to unravel in the middle mainly because it introduced too many characters that weren‘t well developed. I had much higher hopes based on the blurb.
pickThe Last Pick trilogy is a great graphic novel series for middle schoolers. Author Jason Walz, a special education teacher, understands the importance of representation; in a note he explains the main theme: “Whatever the world sees as ‘different‘ is exactly what the world needs.” I don‘t think it‘s a spoiler to say that kids turn out to be the heroes. 💖
Good grief…..🤦🏽♀️ At least I didn‘t buy a duplicate this time, I borrowed it. I‘m glad I made the discovery because I really dislike due dates.
I also found Someone at a Distance by Whipple on my shelves and that has been in my Abe cart too. 🙄
so-soI mostly kept reading just to find out what happened to the missing father. Mia's rambling digressions were charming at first but then became tiresome. I skimmed a lot. Good writing, interesting characters, not my favorite plot structure.
pickA lot of firsts here— the first Sweet Valley Christmas and the creation of the Snoopers Club— the twins, Lila, Ellen, Amy, Eva, Todd and Winston— as they take on this variation of Miracle on 34th Street. Is the new temporary janitor, Chris Kreeger actually the real Santa? How else could he know their names, what they want and have a big map? Sweet and fun, it‘s a jolly good mystery with the right amount of Christmas magic!
