This book shows a more engaging way for students to understand the 50 states as well as their locations

A 19th century small town woman trying to be modern and independent takes a lover, and stirs up an astonishing heap of trouble. I went back and forth over whether to make this a pick or so-so. Osborne is an excellent historical romance writer, and the immersive atmosphere and characterizations are a plus -- but a lot of it is just so miserable to read. It was not a pleasant road to the happy ending.

I have been in a reading rut for a while now. School started and I'll start reading to the kids and that should help. But I'm not getting my Litsy notifications. So my motivation to read and review is also tanking. I'm trying out using Instagram and threads, but I'm just not satisfied. I need inspiration!

This book is excellent for teaching the smallest about 911

Great children‘s read about secrets from world war 2

Five families are followed throughout their experiences in the suburbs. Really interesting but I felt that it was more about schools than suburbs. That being said. I think the author should have included teachers‘ point of views of the suburb evolution, city managers and mayors to round out the challenges. I also believed every word of the parents‘ perspectives of what happens in schools. It‘s a wild world out there in public education.

Herold looks at suburbs of several cities, including the Pittsburgh one he grew up in, and paints a picture of how shifting demographics make huge changes. Many suburbs were originally white flight locations from the city, but now white folks have moved further out and left older suburbs with crumbling infrastructure and underfunded schools to BIPOC folks. He follows this trend in several cities and its impact on families.
