I never thought I would find a children's book that used the magical realism style, but Medina pulls it off in this book! Probably best for stronger readers with good imaginations - the imagery of her language is enchanting.

pickYes, I judged this book and assumed I would hate it. I did not. This was our pick for earth day theme and I finished it on earth day
Entertaining and fast paced but also makes you think a bit about ethics and environmental issues. My full review is on the blog https://thereadersroom.org/2024/04/22/city-of-pearl-by-karen-traviss/
pickHeartbreaking and warming and informative! Deeply valuable
A phenomenal book! I was totally captured by Tania James' storytelling. The book is about the adventures of a woodcarver/toymaker along with thoughtful characters like a French clockmaker, an Indian French lady, an Indian sepoy/agent and so on. The characters are so well thought that you can't help but empathize with them. #immigration #Taniajames #Loot #colonization #fiction
