Welcome to Litsy!

#MiddlegradeMonday #timetravel One of the powerful and gorgeous books of my childhood. Creep is an unwanted child whose mother keeps him locked away; when he escapes one day, he slips in time to the Industrial Revolution with no idea he's done so.

I had to think for a bit to come up with a book with time travel. I love the Artemis Fowl series, especially the earlier books. There are some wonderful characters and interesting storylines.

This is an anticipated read that has a time slip element. I can't wait to read it because I loved Aftermath, by the same author.

I just read this new one from Erin Entrada Kelly and it's probably my favorite time travel book ever! In 1999 we have Michael who is very anxious about Y2K and his babysitter crush, Gibby. They encounter a strange boy who eventually reveals that he is from the future. Michael is then tempted to alleviate his fears by stealing forbidden info from the traveler. The ending wraps up perfectly!

Christina Soontornvat wrote the tagged book- a Thai-inspired retelling of Les Mis with magical elements that rocked my world and in doing so became a must-read author for me! In this version, the daughter of the prison warden hunts down a prison-born boy who is trying to escape his doomed life.

Gloria's family lose their Farm in Oklahoma, and have to move to California to survive. There are lots of tough topics in this one. Great for a book club!

This week I‘ve chosen a couple of books in which softball plays a major part. Both of these are books I‘ve read, but I still need to get hold of copies to add to my class library.

Had to go with this great one from Jason Reynolds because we are currently in the peak of track season with my son. Ghost is about a boy who wants to play ball, but when a track coach takes him under his wing and sees his potential for running his life takes a turn for the better. 🏃🏽‍♂️

I thought about this prompt for a bit and decided on this book. Jillian lives in a small coastal Louisiana town that is slowly disappearing due to rising water. After another storm, the school is closed due to flood damage and the bridge into town is condemned. As she fights for her town and learns more about its history, she also learns how much of it has already disappeared under water.
