Evil spy school is the best!

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.

It's a great book and a great plot and one of the first books I ever read -ollie

I really liked the book because it was nice to read in bed and it felt funny and relaxing at the same time! I really liked how PANDANIA gave each of them a family that sort of enhanced their personality.

Teen Colby is still recovering from the death of her mother and struggles to cope with long absences from her long haul trucker dad. When Colby is dumped by her secret summer girl friend, it’s almost too much for her to bear. Over the next few months her grades slip and Colby lashes out at her friends and supporters. When a three-legged dog arrives in her life, Colby has companionship and new responsibilities. Lots of drama and turmoil, but mostly happy endings all around.

Really good, chilling ending and never guessed right about who was good or bad...

It was really creative and I wanted to read more every night!

I like it. I chose it because it's time for me to go to bed. And I really liked this book and I hope we can read it again, but there are other books to read.

Loved this book so much. It is well written, suspenseful, full of adventure & love. It is like a warm hug!

I’m personally interpreting this as a metaphor for sudden disability. The way Gregor is hindered in all of his tasks and has to get used to his new body. His family is ashamed of him and keep him locked in his room and they feel relieved when he dies. It’s honestly really sad.
