The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
View in Library Catalog
book cover


3.75 stars rounded up. I find this book very hard to rate as much of the merit comes from its status as a classic. Mark Twain’s novel is full of adventure, boyhood mischief and depictions of the racist antebellum Southern US. I’m very familiar with the story and probably have the strongest memory of the Elijah Wood portrayal on film. There’s nostalgia that comes with taking that trip down the river with Huck and Jim and revisiting their stops along the way. Yet, during this reading, I was shocked at the preponderance of vernacular and ear-piercing slurs (specifically the n-word) that made it rather hard to listen to on audio. If this book were written today as historical fiction, I’d probably be rounding down the rating, but I can’t ignore where this text stands in history. Tom Parker’s narration felt rather fast-paced, but his voice felt authentic though his occasional vocal clicks stuck out a bit.

J Vs. K

This illustrated chapter book was such a delight! In this meta collab between two powerhouses, fifth graders J and K go from rivals butting heads to friends who work together to win the annual writing contest. This book is insanely clever, fun for readers of all ages, and memorable. Some moments have just the right amount of cringe- other moments are surprisingly tender and kind. I loved the dialogue, the vocab infusion, the art, and the humility of it all. This is just the book I wanted to read with my elementary daughter!

Stellarlune
by Shannon Messenger

This is such a good book, especially for people that like people having powers and the good people not winning all the time. Although they are technically in the lead, Sophie and her friends don't think so. Sophie is the main character, and she has SO MUCH friends who care for her. Then one of her friends - Keefe - leaves for the Forbidden Cities and his mom (a bad character) is trying to do an experiment on him called Stellarlune, so Sophie and her friends try searching for a power source called Elysian, and at the end of the book, they find out who/what Elysian is, and it is a humongous cliff hanger!

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.
