I can‘t even begin explaining the mind numbing rage I have against like 80% of the characters in this book and I‘m only a quarter of the way through… I am so upset that it feels like a weight on my chest and I just wanna claw it away.

Trixie & the BobWhites are at it again when sheep thieves are targeting the Belden‘s Uncle Andrew‘s farm!

We get to see the gang investigate another high stakes mystery, meet some new kids, some development on young love, & a dramatic rescue! More importantly, we get to see Trixie fail in her investigations, & then pick herself back up, apologize for her assumptions, & try, try again. It‘s always great to see failure treated as natural.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

A diverse (in genre type and representation) collection of short stories.

Anthologies are pretty hit and miss for me, but there wasn‘t a story I disliked here. I did have my favorites, Meet Cute made me laugh & Why I Learned to Cook made me cry at work 😅. The narrators all fit the tone of their stories pretty well, and the stories were a good representation of the authors. Now I‘ve got a couple new authors to check out! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

shortsarahrose So glad you liked this collection! “Meet Cute” was one of my favorites, too. 5h

Everyone can make a difference. Even a small step against an injustice makes an impact.

This #Anthology of fictional stories for a #Teen audience shows characters from diverse backgrounds standing up for themselves, sometimes loudly and other times quietly. It takes lots of courage to do what some of these characters did to support themselves and their communities. A great book for a YA discussion group!

#LiteraryCrew : discussion on Monday!

CatLass007 Looking forward to the discussion on Monday. 8h

I‘m re-reading for the build up to number 5 being published next month.
This is the one where the series really takes off for me and you‘re waving the flag for Paige.

Andrew65 Excellent 👏👏👏 11h

Since the TV series has now caught up with the graphic novels I can safely read them without fear of spoilers. It does feel slightly weird - some pages immediately call TV scenes to mind, others are new to me. And of course as usual when reading graphic novels I am mainly text focused and I have to remember to slow down and look at the pictures.

3.5⭐(Light Pick)
•I feel like this was a bit unfocused and lacked depth. Maybe it needed to pick one genre and stick to it. It seemed to want to dip its toes into as many as possible without fully committing to one. Overall, it had elements that worked and ones that didn‘t work for me.
•The narration performed by Deanna Anthony, Carmel Jewel Jones, & Robin Eller was fantastic.
