I enjoyed this short novel-in-verse penned by Arriel Vinson, one of Reese’s LitUp fellows. There are beautiful, poetic moments especially as Jae skates. I enjoyed the bit of a love story and how this book felt like a coming-of-age/maturation moment. I listened to the audiobook on Spotify

A series of short stories from the past and present told from the viewpoints of some of Strout’s familiar characters. Most of the stories connect to others in this book, tales of love, life, and forgiveness. Great for fans of Strout, but not an ideal book to introduce her characters.

Hilarious and ridiculous and the drawing make it even better!

The story of Hawaii’s colonization and land laws as told by a former writer for the Washington Post, written as she researched her own family history on Maui and her extended family’s responsibility for land parcel deeded to their long-ago Hawaiian ancestor. Includes photos, glossary of common Hawaiian words, and an index. Essential reading for every part Hawaiian person.

it is good

Very silly!

This is such a good book, especially for people that like people having powers and the good people not winning all the time. Although they are technically in the lead, Sophie and her friends don't think so. Sophie is the main character, and she has SO MUCH friends who care for her. Then one of her friends - Keefe - leaves for the Forbidden Cities and his mom (a bad character) is trying to do an experiment on him called Stellarlune, so Sophie and her friends try searching for a power source called Elysian, and at the end of the book, they find out who/what Elysian is, and it is a humongous cliff hanger!

The main character was Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Gray with some Dwarfs. They are terying

My 4.5 year old loved this book and would rate it 5 stars. I thought this was one of the hokier books in the Magic Treehouse and did not find it as interesting and educational as some of the other more historical tales.

Evil spy school is a very good book.
