Snow on a cover makes me emotionally nervous

Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt

February 4, 2022 by Claudia 1 Comment

Orbiting Jupiter This was a short novel, bordering on novella. I don’t know where it was recommended to me but I know that any book with a cover in winter is almost certainly going to be sad so I was at least somewhat prepared. The book is from the perspective of a young boy, Jack, whose family brings in a foster kid, Joseph. Joseph is 14 and was placed in foster care after a violent and drug induced incident with a teacher. Joseph also has […]

It’s Actually Almost over, but still a fun book to read

Almost Time by Gary D. Schmidt

Isabella (Belle) Baumfree’s story

So Tall Within: Sojourner Truth's Long Walk Toward Freedom by Gary D. Schmidt

October 29, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Even though I am usually not a fan of “popular books” or “popular themed” books, I do wonder what I am missing. And So Tall Within: Sojourner Truth’s Long Walk Toward Freedom is one of those popular themed books I am wondering what I missed as it is not a book I am excited over. Gary D.
