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.

Boxcar children and magic treehouse were tied.
Last time I was ecstatic was a few days ago buying my new quilt.
Fond memories would be going to movies and sneaking in cheaper junk food. #wondrouswednesday
pickNovel-in-verse - Georgia is still reeling from the death of her artist mother who died suddenly. She navigates this journey through self-reflection in a journal, and polishing her sketching technique. Can she rebuild a stronger relationship with her dad along the way?

so-soThis book was ok. I liked it but I wouldn‘t read it again. Maybe I didn‘t like it because it didn‘t relate to me at all. I think it‘s a good book and it had a great plot but it just wasn‘t my thing. :)
@slategreyskies had this question on their acct. ❤️ it. I read a lot as a kid, & I was into the tagged series. I also read a lot of Little House on the Prairie, Sweet Valley High, and Goosebumps. It was my parents who got me into reading. Growing up (and now), they both always had a book (many) nearby, took me to the library, & gave me books as a gift. My mom gave me a new book on snow days hence my love of reading when it‘s snowing.
Lots of insight found in this book.

so-soIt was alright. I didn‘t like the back and forth between past and present with no warning, the unrealistic dialogue, and the overused phrase “it‘s funny how...” I had high hopes but they fell a little flat.
“Honey, Baby, Sweetheart” is one of my favorite books. Trying something else from Deb for the first time! I am expecting good things and am looking forward to reading this.
