Lumberjanes: Beware The Kitten Holy
by Noelle Stevenson

book cover


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.

A Rip Through Time
by Kelley Armstrong

book cover


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.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea

While I did love The House in the Cerulean Sea a tad more, this book did not disappoint. TJ Klune has a way with words and the imagery created is magic. I so loved all the children and their unique outlook of the world. The story was uplifting, funny, charming, and full of hope.

Angelica And The Bear Prince
by Trung Le Nguyen

book cover


This is a lovely book! I was lucky to receive a digital ARC of this graphic novel from NetGalley to review. After loving The Magic Fish, I was eager to read Trung Le Nguyen’s latest, which is set to release in October 2025. The full color illustrations are dreamy, gorgeous feasts for the eyes. After overextending herself, Angelica turns to a place that has captivated her and brought her comfort: the local theater and its upcoming production featuring Per the Bear Prince. This story has a little of everything: family drama and grief, a second chance romance, friendship, and more. While this sophomore book doesn’t feel as deep or impactful as its predecessor, it still gets top marks for me. Young audiences will love it and older readers will appreciate it.
