In the Key of Us | Mariama J. Lockington

Read this book since it was Pride month & it‘s about a summer camp (I was at mine during early June for a few days). This is a great book for middle school/high school age, but the MCs have some heavy problems, including the death of one‘s mother & self-harm. Two girls go to a month-long music camp, meet new people, navigate friendships, crushes, & first romance, & try to improve their musical abilities. I enjoyed this.

In this graphic novel, we follow Paul in his first experience as a counselor at a summer camp in the 1970s.
I haven't read the first book in the series, but it's really not a problem. This book is readable by itself.
Well done, with interesting themes: coming of age, first responsibilities, first love, self-confidence, etc.

Since I missed yesterday‘s prompt, I‘m going for double Ds today! (Okay, that sounded better in my head!) 😆 Out Of My Brain is about a #DifferentlyAbled girl & told through #Diary entries. The follow-up (tagged) is still in my TBR.

Such a great book about navigating friendship, family and grief as a young teen. My 13 year old theater kid loved the setting of a summer theater camp. The musical the camp is putting on? Wicked! (Kudos to the publisher for excellent timing. 😁) Swinarski captures tween/teen voices so well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was putting off this volume of Lumberjanes because its the penultimate! I have loved this series, except the artwork is done by different artists through the series & some isn‘t great. #frightclub #hauntedshelf

Ms Kelly knows how to write a tale. These characters are sympathetic and become even more thoughtful as the story progresses. The love of knowledge and commitment of the girls towards the cranes was inspiring and the adults were mature and did not treat the girls with condescension. This is a must read author.
