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.

A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong is a fast-paced, clever blend of time travel and mystery that had me hooked from the start. When modern-day detective Mallory Atkinson wakes up in Victorian Scotland, trapped in another woman’s body, she’s forced to use her 21st-century skills to solve a chilling murder. I loved the mix of historical setting, suspenseful twists, and strong characters. It’s smart, gripping, and just plain fun. I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series.

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

The book is funny, I like elephants, it is creative.

I read other big Nate’s instead of just this one. But I read big Nate to much

This book has great vocabulary and shared insights to the world about life as a minority. It displays a coming of age theme which revolves around Starr, the ferocious main character of this novel. I would definitely recommend!

4.5??

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.

We love this series! The illustrations are lovely and cute. Bird and bear are such great friends.

I think this book might be kinda bad....and yet I read all of it and the previous volumes, what does this mean?
