So far this one was the best in the series. In this volume, there's a new girl in school named Natasha and of course Olive tries to befriend her but Nat is definitely not a nice girl towards Olive. This story is perfect for kids who have to deal with bullies in their life and also bullies should read this as well. The art is wonderful and I love all of the characters.

Anybody else read children‘s books when needing a pallet cleanser. I picked up a couple children‘s books last year as a way to catch up on my reading goal, but I realize that it help with my reading slumps as well. It‘s also been a challenge as I look specifically for books with a Gothic theme and some of the ones I found have been so fun. Boris and Bella was definitely my favorite out of the three, but they were all good.

PatriciaU If you like spooky, try Lora Senf‘s The Clackity and others. So good! Also, Katherine Ardens Small Spaces books are great! 3d
MariaW I went through the whole Bunnicula series in a rather stressful period last year. 3d

With a title like this I thought the book would be about ghosts not monsters. I am also not a fan of body horror having worked in hospitals broken bones and blood do nothing for me. Check the trigger warnings on this one.

4.5 ⭐This book is adorable. It‘s about a ghost who instead of being a sheet is a quilt. It makes him move slower, makes them heavier, but it also makes them much cozier to the little girl that picks them up. There‘s another book in this series and I‘m looking forward to it. And the artwork while not completely black and white uses color sparingly so that way our quilt stands out. This book was a top read from first page to last.

TheLudicReader This author lives in my hometown. Her debut novel The Town That Drowned is excellent. She is an accomplished quilter, too. 2w
LibrarianRyan Nice!! I‘ll check that out. 2w

A book about growing up and accepting that life changes

It‘s the 5th #SweetValleyHalloween & Mr. Clark announces the school‘s trip fund is low, so they need the prize from the Pumpkin Growers Association as the school with the most pumpkin spirit! Elizabeth comes up with the idea to crown a Halloween king & queen by voting using carved jack-o-lanterns! Jessica feels jealous & then takes credit for Liz‘s acorn pumpkin earrings, bringing the pumpkin spotlight back to her! Liz gets justice through Poe!

JenlovesJT47 I don‘t think I read any SVT books past that weird Dr. Q one which is 102 I think. Is the vibe totally different still? 2mo
TorieStorieS No, the Dr. Q definitely stuck out— these others have been more in line with the earlier ones, though Todd isn‘t as around as he had been 2mo

4 ⭐Jane Yolen is a master storyteller. Along with the illustrator in less than 20 words, they can have a book from beginning to end. It‘s a perfect book for bedtime for that last push right before sleep.
