Here I was, editing this down to a square when I should've realized that Litsy can actually handle most dimensions. If you want an in depth look at your bookish stats, then definitely get Bookly. It's absolutely lovely. There are quarterly readathons and an active Discord.

Oh, and fun reports and infographics like the one above. 😁

This new graphic novel from the team behind the award winning Illegal, tells the story of two young people, one living along the Indian Ocean, the other living in Northern Canada within the Arctic Circle, dealing with the effects of climate change. Rising seawaters, more frequent violent storms, habitat degradation, wildlife feeding patterns, & more are addressed in this adventure story where survival hangs in the balance. Great for young readers.

Not what I was expecting. 144 pg tell two kids stories, worlds apart. Too much for such a short time. Meet, drama life or death, closure. Tried to feel for them, but feel like I didn‘t get the time to know them. One in the Indian Ocean where flooding keeps pushing his community back. One in the Arctic# where polar bears and brown bears bred to a new species. Each child is left out on their own, trying to get home. This is more a I survived story
