I am a junior cannonballer who primarily reads YA mystery and fantasy, with some dystopian thrown in. I participate because I read A LOT and might as well do good with my love of books.

Unfortunately, Not For Me

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

January 6, 2023 by Bibliophile 2 Comments

Before I got out of school for winter break I asked my school librarian for drive suggestions, since I had to endure some long flights. I’ve been reading a lot of mystery lately, so I asked for some suggestions in that genre. They all sounded good and seemed like things that I would enjoy, so I checked them out. Fast forward to about a week later, I started one of her suggestions, We Were Liars by E. Lockhart… We Were Liars is about a girl […]

I like this book and now want pie

Nightbird by Alice Hoffman

June 2, 2022 by Bibliophile 3 Comments

“It was a miracle to live as birds do, except for one thing: anyone seen in flight would surely be captured, perhaps even shot down like a crow flying above a cornfield. It’s always dangerous to be different, to appear as a monster in most people’s eyes, even from a distance.” Nightbird by Alice Hoffman is about a town named Sidwell meant for ages 10-13. In Sidwell, people believe in fairy tales. Well, to be more specific, they believe in a monster, the Sidwell monster. […]

Good for the right audience

All the Answers by Kate Messner

June 1, 2022 by Bibliophile Leave a Comment

“Life isn’t about knowing all the answers. The best we can do is to make peace with our questions, learn who we are, know our strengths, and do the best we can with the gifts we’ve been given while we’re here.” What if you had a magic pencil? What if it had all the answers? Ava Anderson picks up a pencil from the kitchen junk drawer. But, she soon discovered that this is no ordinary pencil. Whatever (factual) question is written by that pencil will […]

Good for what it is

White Bird by R.J. Palacio

June 1, 2022 by Bibliophile Leave a Comment

“You see, Julian, it always takes courage to be kind. But in those days, when such kindness could cost you everything – your freedom, your life – Kindness becomes a miracle. It becomes that light in the darkness that Papa talked about, the very essence of our humanity. It is hope.” White Bird by R.J. Palacio is a Wonder story. It tells the story of Julian’s grandmother Sara (grandmère, as Julian calls her). She was a young Jewish girl during World War II. She lived […]

Pretty good, but the author has written better

Short by Holly Goldberg Sloan

May 31, 2022 by Bibliophile Leave a Comment

“I grew this summer. Not on the outside, but on the inside. And that’s the only place where growing really matters.” Short by Holly Goldberg Sloan is about self-discovery and the role models who forever change us. Julia Marks is very short for her age. She never thought of herself as a performer, but when she was cast to be a Munchkin in a summer performance of The Wizard of Oz. Julia gets inspiration and motivation from the amazing director of the play Shaw Barr, […]
