4.5 stars. Jack and Annie travel to the prairie and visit a dugout schoolhouse, write with chalk on slate and befriend pioneers. They encounter a twister and have to hide in a storm cellar. This is one of their more exciting and endearing adventures.

This book is amazing, it shows so much creativity and magic. I recommend this book for any wizard loving-adventure seeking-magic exploring people who want some fun with a book

So basically there is a girl named Wren who the dragonmancers want to feed to the dragons, but she escapes and finds a baby dragon, who she names Sky. There is also Ivy, who finds a dream visitor and see's Sunny twice. Then, there is a boy named Leaf and he thinks Wren is dead, so he wants to avenge her by killing dragons. But then he finds out that Wren is still alive, finds Rose, after Stone helps him escape from Ivy's village where the dragonslayer lives. Plus, the dragonslayer is Ivy's dad, and he has a lot of treasure so they take it and try to return it to the dragons.

Excellent! Easy to read, impressively researched.

The adventure in the book was really entertaining

This was a good story walk book pick. I liked it. -Diana

The death of a hotel guest in a shabby seaside village comes to the attention of big city police when they learn that the dead man was a retired cop. Local police and a university professor also take interest. Was this murder or an accidental death? Is this linked to a past murder? What secrets are being hidden by the innkeeper’s family? This is one in a series of books featuring Japan’s Detective Galileo. Highly enjoyable. Kept me guessing. Will definitely read more from this author.

This book is good with not too much horror and lots of fun and suspense

4.5 stars. I’m a fan of Ashley Poston and have been looking forward to this book that combines magical realism, romance and song. I loved how each chapter is a lyric. The book has touching dementia representation. While I think the “magic” of the book was well executed, it’s hard not to have a critical lens of a mind reading situation in which both main characters can tap into each other’s thoughts. My other gripe was how the male main character went by two names throughout the book, which somehow messed with my perception of their bond. Still, I enjoyed this book and will read more from Ashley Poston in the future. I listened to the audiobook with its narration by Patti Murin.

Explains more about the relationship between brothers Jim and Bob Burgess. Great reading for fans of Strout’s other books.
