Going in, I hadn‘t really realized that this was MG, not YA. As always, I enjoyed the Alex Gino story- it was my favorite. I found “Stacy‘s Mom” slightly creepy (just think about the song). I also find it annoying when authors use all caps in sentences. But hey, those are just a couple out of the many short stories in this book. 4⭐️

So cute. MG anthologies are really working for me this year. Mostly contemporary, stories about friends and crushes.

I didn‘t think I‘d ever heard of this author, but immediately sought out more information. I discovered one book had been in my radar and pre-ordered the next one.

The poem was amazing. I can‘t even tell you how many Menudo concerts I attended in my childhood (and into my teens!).
