Welcome to Litsy!

4 ⭐This book is fantastic. It sounds like John Cena if I‘m beginning to end. It‘s a story about always trying your hardest and that it‘s OK to be different. I love that one of the monster trucks is electric, which is what makes them different from the others but yeah, there‘s still this message of family. This book feels like the author and like someone who spends a lot of time with children.

This #PictureBook has a great message—never give up and anyone can succeed, no matter size or strength. Cena adds humor to the speech bubbles of the various trucks. I was actually surprised by how much I liked this one. #BBRC #LetterE

A little choppy and disorganized at first, but the author found her stride and since it was my day off I was able to finish it in one sitting. Some things were totally unbelievable but I enjoyed it and am interested in reading the next one.

This story has a fun premise of kids with supernatural powers going on an adventure to find missing parents in a world where they have to hide their abilities. However, it‘s also very much a setup for a series. There is a lot of build up and and quite a bit of kid drama in order to get to a big event in just the last few chapters. The results of that event set up plenty more questions for the next book in the series.

Having an after school snack and wishing I could just keep reading more of this book instead of prepping for the rest of the week.

1. I have read books by celebrities so why not read what they recommend. Of course it depends on the celebrity. Here's something I love https://youtu.be/vfGhXTpcaRw
2. My students, their parents, my friends and family, goodreads, litsy - I follow authors on Instagram and Twitter. My Facebook feed is also full of bookish interests.
I have completely lost track of what day it is #teacherlife #summerbreak

My teenage daughter has been trying to convince me to read this for ages. I finally picked it up recently and I couldn't put it down.

A girl with an unnamed identity, referred to as Jane Doe is in a secret base and who hasn't spoken a word for 2 and a half years.

I found this story had great pacing and enough intrigue for me to not want to put this book down. ⬇️

"I am nothing more then a glass pawn in a black-and-white chess set: out of place and utterly breakable."

"I feel just like the orbiting second hand of the clock on the wall. No matter how many times it moves forward, ultimately it will end up back where it started. Sixty seconds, and all that work was for nothing."

Enjoyed this one. Looking forward to reading the next book this weekend.
