I loved this main character! Her struggles felt so real and her emotions were written so strongly. I will definitely be reading more of Callender‘s work in the future.

Starting The girl who drank the moon. Im liking it so far
I am starting Snow and Rose by Emily Winfield Martin, and I am so excited for this book because I have heard so many things about it. All good of course. I will be giving an update every week, and even try to finish the book in a couple of weeks. Follow along with me as I embark on this amazing adventure.
pickGreat MG GN! There‘s a Breakfast Club vibe, but it‘s so much better. Five Latinx kids are called to the principal‘s office to explain what happened; then we get the story from their different perspectives in overlapping flashbacks. I LOVE the bilingual presentation (when a character speaks in Spanish there‘s a “thought bubble” translation), which lets you read either or both languages throughout. Lots of good representation of cultures.
pickFor MG - a beautiful story of two outcasts who become friends… Etan stopped speaking when his mom left. Malia is virtually a shut-in; she has a chronic skin problem-other kids call her The Creature 😢

pick4⭐ Growing up is hard. As girls age, they find different likes, and can start to stray from long held friendships. In Roller Girl, Astrid falls in love with Roller Derby. It is so geeky, but edgy at the same time. Her friend, however, is more into dance. Their friendship starts to splinter as Astrid pulls more to Roller Derby. She is not very good and does a lot of falling but she is learning to get up on her own feet and to find the courage
pickI loved this heartwarming MG book! 💚
Hazel is dealing with the loss of her Mum and desperately trying to understand why her Mama won't just let them go back home.
This is a beautiful story of a young girl finding her place as she struggles with grief, trauma, and making new friends. The characters are rich and diverse and the story will leave your heart full.
There's also a storyline involving a local legend about a mermaid that was fun.
pickSo wholesome. Just like pure sunshine, it encourages growth and leaves you with a warm feeling. Love the message, love the art, love the many moments it takes just to be adorable, accepting. I sincerely hope there's another entry focusing on Celery's journey.
