“In the darkness, we find ourselves. But it's up to us to decide if we want to embrace the light.”

Loved this trilogy on audio - good narration.

“Well, none of us are here for very long. While we‘re alive, all we can do is keep on fighting. Try to make our contribution count.”

This was a super cute middle grade romance!

First off, I loved the amusement park setting. The majority of the story took place there and it worked so well. It was fun and added to the playfulness of the romance. The park reminded me a lot of the fictional Walley World from the movie, “National Lampoon‘s Vacation” (which is a movie I love).

picked this up on indie bkstore day from Changing Hands pop up shop of banned books. The Tangs move to the US for a better life. This book is really upbeat,yet doesn‘t sugar coat how they are exploited by a hotel owner as mom,dad,& daughter Mia do everything to run a motel owned by a guy who only pays them part of the cost of a nights stay. I was joyful to watch them slowly find some success while not losing their empathy. Mia, a super character

Good potential but this one felt rushed. Pacing and storyline got really choppy halfway through and the main characters lacked depth. Some important characters are removed from the story when the author doesn‘t have time for them. If there are already planned sequels why the rush?

That pesky Ellimist is back! And “not interfering” in what could be interpreted as quite an interfering way…

This is a Tobias book and we *finally* see him offered something of a pathway back to being a real boy.

Really enjoyed getting to meet two Yerk free Hork-Bajir and how it challenged all of the Animorphs previous assumptions about them being violent (like, them eating bark and using their blades primarily as tools rather than weapons).

4.5✨This was such a warm and sweet graphic novel. It left me feeling relaxed and inspired. I felt it was too short and could have had more depth. I‘m interested to see what the next book has to offer. @Littlewolf1

I‘d love to try all the delicious treats in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series. 😋

Cute story! More about Princess Rinetta than Lando, but not bad for a middle grade filler episode.

May the Fourth be with you!

Big thumbs up from the 9 year old as we continue through the series. Things we learned: elephants are now growing shorter tusks due to years of poaching (which is sad but cool how biology works as a way to try & protect the species). In the author‘s notes she gave some good resources: Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (oldest elephant sanctuary) & Elephant Voices website has elephant ethograms where you can learn all about elephant behaviors. She also
