Secrets of Camp Whatever Volume One by Chris Grine

August 25, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

An adorable coming of age with lots of humor story is the best way to describe Secrets of Camp Whatever Volume One. Monsters, adventures, and snacks come together when a handful of children go to a bit of a creepy, but cool, summer camp. Adventure awaits! Just watch out for fog leeches.

Song For a Whale by Lynne Kelly

February 26, 2020 by cosbrarian 3 Comments

Iris has always had a slight connection to whales, because she was named in honor of one. The day she was born, a whale beached itself in their hometown, and her family named her the same name scientists gave the whale, as its life left the world when hers began.

Blue-55 is a hybrid breed, and sings […]
