mrp27 A library! 2y

Butterfinger I have always said I want to be buried with my World Book Encyclopedias. Wouldn't that be funny to watch the pallbearers carry? That's not funny. 2y

mrp27 I don‘t have any experience or expertise with mental illness but this rang true for me making me feel that this would be helpful as a resource for families going through this. I‘m so glad that so many issues are now being addressed in mg lit. Representation is imperative. 2y

mrp27 I was a little surprised there wasn‘t more about the dad and by more I mean interaction. He was just always off in France. 2y

pick

#mgbuddyread

Between a pick and a so-so. The writing was great and there were interesting bits about being an artist. I love that mg books are now addressing so many diverse topics, this one includes mental illness, but the pacing for me was too slow and I got bored. I had to force myself to pick it back up. Still a worthy read if you don‘t mind the pacing.

pick

With the help of friends and her community, Olympia navigates her parents‘ separation and mother‘s depression. This would be a helpful addition to any middle grade classroom library to help children know they are not alone when facing similar problems. Looking forward to #mgbuddyread discussion this Saturday. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

so-so

I feel like this book had great potential but... it tried to do too many things at once. I loved individual parts of the story but again.. they were just too much!

I love cottage cheese! All this hatred for cottage cheese!

WJCintron I LOVE it, but I've never had it with peas!!! I should try it one day! 2y

Clwojick I‘m not huge on peas, especially canned… but I love cottage cheese with a little PB and jam. It tastes like dessert! 2y

5feet.of.fury I try to convince myself I like cottage cheese, I want to like it… I don‘t like it haha. 2y

wanderinglynn I can‘t get paste the texture. And the color 🥴 2y

tokorowilliamwallace It goes in my oatmeal, atop my protein pancakes, and spread on rice cakes. 2y

mandarchy It's good with saltines or potato chips. I get Nancy's Probiotic Cottage cheese and mix it with tuna instead of mayo and make a tuna melt - so healthy and delicious. I mix it into my scrambled eggs, too. 2y

ElizaMarie @WJCintron I really enjoy it with pees or using it as a dip with a Dorito. But really more so the peas. --- Try it, let me know what you thought? 2y

ElizaMarie @Clwojick Ooo never heard of it with PB and Jam! I gotta try that. Like you mix it? I am having a hard time picturing this! 2y

ElizaMarie @5feet.of.fury Haha ! I get you. I try to convince myself I like syrup, gravy, pancakes, cereal ... It feels like I should like these “staples“ in people's diet but I just cant! Ooo and pudding! I can't. 2y

ElizaMarie @wanderinglynn, I get that. That's my problem with pudding. 2y

ElizaMarie @tokorowilliamwallace Oooo, great ideas! 2y

ElizaMarie @mandarchy YES !!! I mean, I like it with Doritos sometimes because they have that little cheese residue. I never had it with tuna, though. 2y

mandarchy @ElizaMarie the kind I use with tuna is sharp like cheddar, so that helps. 2y

WJCintron @ElizaMarie I definitely will!! Mmmm with Doritos, why didn't I think of that? 😂 2y

Clwojick Yeah, just add some cottage cheese into a bowl with a spoonful each of PB and jam, and then give it a quick stir. 2y

This was recommended on the news for #ArtAppreciationMonth , the reviews here are on the “so-so“ side, but we will see. It will be my next #AudioCommute book

so-so

I really liked the setting of this one in an artist‘s community in NYC. I think if the author had stuck with the story of mom‘s depression or the mystery, it would have been great. But together, there was just too much going on. #MiddleGradeMarchThroughTime

so-so

This book was blurbed as a mystery but the mystery was lost in an avalanche of other issues. It was overstuffed and the ending felt like a sigh of exhaustion. The story wasn‘t bad. It just needed to be pared down a bit. Also, the mother was in a state of clinical depression so severe she had rarely gotten out of bed in two weeks but was said to be “taken care of” at home by another adult which I find an irresponsible portrayal of the situation.

megnews @Tracyantoon so far so good. 4y

LibrarianRyan I like cottage cheese. 4y

ljuliel I have odd eating habits . If a food doesn‘t look good, I won‘t even taste it. Cottage cheese is in that CATEGORY. Many years ago, a couple invited us to their house for supper. She made lasagna with cottage cheese , some other casserole with cottage cheese , baked chicken with some sort of cottage cheese coating floating in it , jello with cottage cheese , with a side dish of cottage cheese . YUK. I‘m guessing she bought a 5 gallon bucket of it 4y

megnews @ljuliel holy moly!!! 4y

megnews @LibrarianRyan somebody has to 😁 4y

SaturnDoo I'm with @LibrarianRyan I like it. Both of my kids love it and I think it's my 2 yr old grandson's favorite food lol 4y

so-so

Sometimes the publisher/marketing team does a book no favors & that‘s the case with this MG debut. It is, as a result, difficult to review. There is little forward momentum to the story outlined on the dust jacket & that is disappointing. There is, however, a nuanced examination of mental health & what happens not only to individuals but also their families. Not entirely what I expected—less adventure & mystery & more about family relationships.
