I like how Harry Potter is kind and stands up for what is right.

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 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 stars. I enjoyed this fantasy camp adventure featuring a crew of five fearless, thrill-seeking friends. They encounter fierce, mysterious creatures after dark and go on a puzzling quest through the woods. This short graphic novel is such a fun ride! I read this because my 7yo daughter blazed through the first five books in the series and I didn’t want to feel left out. I can see why she’s eager to read them all. As is the nature of comics, this book ends on a cliffhanger and feels unresolved.

This Magic Treehouse book was very informative- covering the harsh conditions and cruelty of the Civil War. Jack and Annie meet Clara Barton and (mild spoiler) a distant ancestor. My 4.5yo thought this book was tragic but interesting.

Good book unexpecting ending

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

Great book with wacky components.

A stand-alone title from Strout’s that takes readers into the past when a newly qualified minister and his young wife move to a small village in Maine. Disaster strikes the minister’s young family, leaving them in turmoil. Rumors spread through the village and the minister’s future seems uncertain. This is an engaging story about community, faith, friendship, love, families, and life.

I like everything about this book.
