Bookwormjillk Did Bob cheat or was Tom just mad? I couldn‘t tell. Wish he would go back to school. 5h
Ruthiella Yes! Poor Yap! And that cat! 😭 5h

dabbe I am not liking Tom at all. So high and mighty and always wanting to exact justice! Maggie adores him yet he abuses her. All of them do, except the father seems to favor her a bit. Childhood can be so brutal. And the animal abuse? Horrific. 🤬 5h
mcctrish This chapter just had me mad, Mr Tulliver telling Mrs Tulliver to invite them all and she‘s like “the work of it, more food to make, leaves for the table, dishes to get out” and no one‘s helping her and none of them get along as he puts on his hat and strides off 4h
rubyslippersreads If there‘s animal abuse (especially cats), I think it was the right choice for me to skip this. 😼 3h
ElizaMarie I hated Tom with his little mind games with his sister here. She adores him. And did everything she thought she could to make him happy - offered him the better piece and everything! Ugh! He is mean. 2h
TheAromaofBooks Honestly both Tom and Maggie scare me in their own ways 😂 1h
Morr_Books I am weirded out by the conversations between Maggie and Tom. It seems more like a marriage than a sibling relationship. 41m
Morr_Books A lot of serial killer tendencies (killing of animals, etc.) with some of these characters. Not at all what I was expecting from this book. 38m
BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books 💯 on both, I definitely wondered about the serial killer aspect 🤣 should be interesting to see how this progresses 37m

This book might be better for parents/the home than in the classroom, but would still be a cute book for the classroom library!

Elmore Green gets a new sibling after being an only child. A book about sibling jealousy, adjusting to a new sibling, and realizing they can be your best friend!

I don't know how young I was when I read this but when one of the bingo squares for library SRP bingo was “Reread a childhood favorite“ I knew this was the one.

Man, reading this with adult eyes-this book still gutted me. I was sitting at lunch telling myself don't cry. I really resonate with this story-change the details but the ugly duckling sister was me growing up.

I just...this book, man...I have to get a copy for my shelves.

marleed Oh hats a great category for a bingo hit! 9mo
Coffeymuse @marleed There was a similar category last year and I read Avi's “Charlotte Doyle“. So fun revisiting childhood faves! 9mo

5⭐️ Wow! I‘m glad that I decided to give this book a try. What a captivating story! I love how she uses dual-timeline and that she brings in another individual as a close observer of an intense sibling rivalry. Mary Lawson is a wonderful story-teller I want to read her other books now

Tamra Lots of Lawson love here! ❤️ 1y

Spending 1 hour on a treadmill is a chore so I have been listening to podcasts while struggling with my run/walk. And I came across this episode discussing Mary Lawson. Never heard of her, never read her books… but the interview intrigued me and Libby has the tagged book. Hurrah! I started it and kinda like her writing… it‘s engaging, too!

Ruthiella I love that podcast and their interview with Lawson was wonderful. 1y
sisilia @Ruthiella Indeed! It‘s my go-to podcast, together with Backlisted and Unburried Books 1y

Bittersweet coming-of-age story about #twins growing up on an island in the Chesapeake Bay. Picture is of a different bay in Maryland but gives a good idea of the landscape. #newyearnewbooks

Eggs Oh how I loved this book❣️ 1y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Beautiful 😍 1y
melissajayne It was my first book I read that was outside of a middle grade series that I absolutely loved. I read the book as an adult and I still loved it. 1y
