This book had me at “French bookshop.” But while the world-building had me swooning, the pacing slowed things down more than I expected. The mystery is gentle, almost meandering, which isn‘t a dealbreaker in cozy-land, but I did find myself wishing the plot would pick up the pace. It‘s a pleasant cozy, but one that didn‘t leave me counting down for the sequel.

Mr. Lemoncello‘s Great Library Race by Chris Grabenstein (narrated by Jesse Bernstein) is clever, fun, and heartwarming. Each kid‘s individuality is celebrated—like Sierra, who‘d rather read than race. The story also tackles “fake news” in a kid-friendly way and highlights teamwork, humility, and learning from mistakes. A joyful, meaningful middle-grade read!
