This illustrated chapter book was such a delight! In this meta collab between two powerhouses, fifth graders J and K go from rivals butting heads to friends who work together to win the annual writing contest. This book is insanely clever, fun for readers of all ages, and memorable. Some moments have just the right amount of cringe- other moments are surprisingly tender and kind. I loved the dialogue, the vocab infusion, the art, and the humility of it all. This is just the book I wanted to read with my elementary daughter!

I haven’t gotten that far, I’m on chapter 4. It’s pretty good so far and definitely better than the movie. There is more information, as I would hope, and explains the characters more.

This book is a thrilling novel about the constant danger harry experiences at hogwarts it also covers more detail about the griffindor quiditch teem

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

First in the series about a scientist/amateur crime solver. This is cat, cat & mouse between police detectives, three people who covered up an instance of manslaughter/murder, and the scientist who both helps the police and -in this case - has a sympathetic connection to one of the suspects. Page turner!

I enjoyed this book. I listened to it while I did a lot of gardening and walking. It is a series and a fun summer read.

Great book. Highly recommend for 4th graders and up.

We loved this intro to Shakespearean England and the time of Queen Elizabeth I! We blazed through it.

I first listened to this as an audiobook on Spotify and recently reread the physical book borrowed from the library. I’d definitely recommend listening to the author’s narration over the written version as Sarah Kay is a specialist in spoken word poetry. Overall, I found several of the poems relatable but others forgettable.

So suspenseful yet so exciting! Harry can’t seem to stay out of trouble!
