Almost like part 2 of Ritual not quite as thrilling or scary as her previous novels but very interesting development of all the characters

When I first heard about this book about bookstores, it seemed right up my alley. Sure enough, this is a great book for book lovers and those who love browsing the shelves of their local brick and mortar. This historical journey through American booksellers goes back to the time of Benjamin Franklin and continues through cultural shifts in the county- from gay rights to racism. The business of books, the evolution of big box retailers and the transition to online sales and digital formats are all discussed. The book was a bit dry at times but did make me excited to visit independent bookstores in other parts of the country. I listened to the audiobook on Libby.

Excellent book with great plot and characters.

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

This was an exciting adventure, book for kids, which taught many things about teamwork, mutual respect, and Outdoor safety.

I love it because some days you just feel grumpy

This book was a brave step toward understanding and acceptance, especially for being published in 2012. The lines near the end at the romantic climax are annoyingly cliche but overall the book has an amazing message. The range of topics discussed in the book such as sexuality and racial identity were nearly impossible to cover during the time this book was bu

Funny and positive book to read

Not long enough

Such great Portland references - fun to know all the actual places!
