The lucky grasshopper weather vane has vanished from Town Hall! It‘s up to the Bob Whites to figure out where it went & why.

I liked this one a lot! Trixie & Honey use their detective skills, go to the adults when appropriate, the adults listen (!). A bit predictable, but an unexpected twist I had forgotten. I did start to get a little tired of Thesaurus Mart, & I think this one is a new ghost writer because we start w/ a long summary! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I‘m thankful to L. M. Montgomery for all of her books, but especially for my very favorite book of all time, Emily of New Moon.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs. Tagging anyone who wants to play!

Lizard Music | Daniel Pinkwater
post image
Pickpick

Daniel Pinkwater is definitely a marmite author. Either you're totally willing to embrace an 11-year-old left on his own for a week who starts seeing a band of giant lizards playing music on late-night TV and then meets up with an old black man with a chicken on his head who seems to go by several mysterious aliases and they travel together to a floating invisible island to meet up with a bunch of lizards named Reynold... or you're not 😂

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) I love Pinkwater and his absolute out-there wackiness, so I rolled with it. The mysterious Chicken Man shows up in several other books and is a favorite character, too. I read this one for my 1976 slot of #192025 and it was fun reading a book set when TV actually went off the air at night and a grape soda was a dime.

@Librarybelle - only one book after this to complete the challenge!!!

I liked this one well enough. I like that it centered around someone the kids saw at school. Even if, at this point, any new people in Sleepyside pretty much have to be involved in whatever crime has been committed, I still like it best when the books are set there. I was happy for Bobby getting to ride like the big kids. #bobwhitebuddies

This was a fun mystery, nothing groundbreaking. I enjoyed the banter and Mart's huge words. However, I needed more horses 😂 The villain felt ridiculously obvious here, but the other aspects of the mystery (how, why, time capsule, clues, etc) were fun.

TheAromaofBooks #BobWhiteBuddies !!! I totally missed September's book and I apologize. September was just... not good. ANYWAY. Any thoughts on this one? I felt like Sammy was almost the anti-Dan story - an example of someone refusing to take advantage of the good paths being offered. I'd love to hear your thoughts!!

lauraisntwilder There's not a lot about horses, you're right, except for Bobby and Mr. Pony. Speaking of which, wouldn't Reagan have seen Hoppy in the woods when Mr. Pony got spooked? 24h

BookmarkTavern @lauraisntwilder Bobby says that Reagan was over working by the road, so he might not have seen it. 3h
BookmarkTavern Also, totally agree on needed more horses. Although I loved how supportive everyone was of Bobby earning how to ride. 3h
lauraisntwilder @BookmarkTavern Oh, that's right! That's why Bobby had to chase after the pony himself. 2h

Oops! I almost forget to post my #AllHallowsReadSwap today. Thank you so much @ShelleyBooksie for these lovely gifts! I actually HAVE read The Broken Girls (and really enjoyed it!) and the tagged book is one I‘ve been longing to read. The bookmark is so great and so are the Smarties!

A big “thank you” to @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting once again. ❤️

This is a creepy little tale set in West Wales, with connections to the Mabinogion (which I now want to re-read! Maybe it‘s time to pull out that Charlotte Guest translation I‘ve always meant to read). The focus is on three children and their discovery of a set of old plates in the attic—a discovery that pulls them into embodying the same legend that has played out generation after generation. ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) The book is economical in its details, offering the bare minimum for the reader to piece together connections between present day & history, folklore & legend. The slow build of tension, with children at the center, was increasingly disquieting. I don‘t know if I‘d have liked this as a child—it‘s puzzling, fascinating, and troubling. But it was well worth the read now, and a perfect book for October. 3d
BarbaraJean Another book completed for #10beforetheend! This is my #1967 pick for #192025. @ChaoticMissAdventures @Librarybelle 3d
