Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this #middlegrade story about a young black boy on a road trip with his white grandma. During the way, G‘ma is reliving some personal history while also teaching Scoob about the civil rights movement and how it affected her and his grandfather. Some laughs, some mystery, and a lot of love in this one. #bbrc #mellowyellow #bookspinbingo

I fell in love with this mellow book. A band of childhood friends enjoyed a summer of hanging out, learning how to drive, meeting new people, helping neighbors. There was no plot centered around drugs or gangs or sex. Just doing what real teens should be doing - growing up with close friends.

Emma is in training at the Stargirl Academy (which appears randomly) to become a modern-day fairy godmother. Here, along with the other girls, the fairies who run the academy, and a couple of magic spells, she does what she can to help her neighbours.
