so-soThis one is a pretty quick adventure. Dass and Rooper are the main protagonists since they're the youngest and have the most need to grow, comparatively.
I like the themes of the book and I like seeing an older version of the Jedi. It's not revolutionary and it could've had more detail, but I enjoyed it as it is 🙂
My Favorite Month has come and gone. But... Every month has a little October in it! Read some great books. Not sure what/how I am going to do this next year, I don't think I am going to do the #ReCap the way I have been. I know its only November But I want to think ahead. Any suggestions?
pickI thoroughly enjoyed this middle grade dystopia set in a future world where all information is digital, paper books are incredibly rare, and few know how to read well. It‘s got plenty of action but also a clear message about the importance of books and not censoring information.

so-soThis is an interesting piece of WWII history, but I was disappointed in the book itself. It seemed to skip over some key aspects of the initial Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands. The stories of the different people didn‘t make the impact I expected and felt somewhat disjointed. It may be even harder for young readers without any prior knowledge to follow the course of events.

pickI read this graphic novel every Halloween when I‘m waiting for trick or treaters. It has great illustrations and touches on Halloween and other holidays and family issues and grief. But it does it all in a natural and fun way.
I‘ve had this on my TBR for a long time. Middle grade but I hear it‘s actually scary! #HauntsAndHexes #Scarecrow and #HauntedShelf cover #ScavengerHunt for #Tree

pickThis is a low pick. I wanted to like it more than I did. It‘s the story of Anne Frank and her family before they went into hiding. The problem I think is in the writing — it keeps us at an emotional distance from Anne, so we never really connect to her. Maybe because it‘s children‘s fiction? I didn‘t really know that until I looked at the subject headings before I returned it.
