Can I help you guys finish up a little bit of your last minute book shopping, if you’re still doing some?

For my 8-yr-old, fact obsessed, recently graduated to chapter books nephew, we’ve got Highest Mountain, Smallest Star, by Kate Baker, ill by Page Tsou. With its historical scientific illustrations vibe & it’s plethora of facts, I admit it […]

Friends Forever. Or not.

Friends Forever by Shannon Hale

October 12, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

In the third installment of Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham’s graphic Novel, we have read this story before: Eighth grader coming of age during the late 1980s. No matter the decade, subjects do not change as we still deal with friendships, boys, family, finding your friends, finding confidence, finding the right outfit. Still, the fact that this is based on Hale’s own growing up makes it more special to me (as I’m usually a fan of anything they write and we are of a similar […]

One is silver, the other is gold.

Best Friends by Shannon Hale

August 28, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Best Friends is Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham’s second relatable for the 10 and up crowd graphic novel. Adults can see themselves, too (then and now) in this book about being a sixth grader where when you think you have it figured out, everything changes. Again. A fast-paced story takes Shannon and her friends through the trials of growing up. The year is 1985 but it could be anytime. Friendships change, boys are no longer “off limits” for friends, you still only play with the […]

I love that I got to read two good books and get to tell y’all about them

Real Friends by Shannon Hale

Sunny Side Up by Jennifer Holmes

#cbr11bingo #ILoveThis (Warning long review) This is the second time I have read Real Friends by Shannon Hale. And it is still as good, if not better this time around. The great thing about this newer generation of graphic novels is that they are so much more relatable than they used to be. Of course, there is still the stigma that they are “just comics” but even “back in the day” they were so much more than that. Books like Shannon Hale, Jennifer Holm or […]

Vampirina and her monster family celebrate a snow day!

Vampirina in the Snow by Anne Marie Pace

October 15, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Our favorite little ballerina, sleepover-having, beach going vampire, Vampirina, is back with her family and they are having a grand adventure in the snow! Conveniently this book just happens to be named, (Imagine that!) Contessa Anne Marie Pace has brought to life our little vampire friend with a very special snow day. Her family and friends (even a reluctant big sister) go out to sled, toss snowballs, ice skate and even, possibly make a new friend! And perhaps the best part to this quirky story […]

Elephant & Piggie Like Reading, Do you?

Elephant & Piggie Like Reading! - The Itchy Book! by Mo Willems

May 16, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The author behind the Elephant and Piggie books and the Pigeon of driving a bus fame books, (Mo Willems) has created a beginning reader series, Elephant & Piggie Like Reading! Each one is illustrated by a different popular children’s illustrator. Each book is a book that Elephant and Piggie are reading and not them as the main characters. One of those books is The Itchy Book! With the text by Willems (in his signature style) and the illustrations by Leuyen Pham this new series keeps […]

Emmalita on And now he was looking at her as if she were a cake, if cakes were also religious icons…You will love Kit Webb for entirely different and yet very much the same reasons.
Emmalita on “Dear Sir, May I humbly suggest being less of an idiot and doing whatever it takes…”I'm giving this review 5 stars. Yes, exactly this and yes, this book.
NTE on And now he was looking at her as if she were a cake, if cakes were also religious icons…Also I will admit to the blaspheme that I have not read Kit Webb, even though it's in TBR Mountain, bc my library's copy is...
NTE on And now he was looking at her as if she were a cake, if cakes were also religious icons…I have found your review after just posting mine, and I'm SO HAPPY!! Let us have book club and wax poetic about how perfect this...
Emmalita on “Sometimes I just feel left behind. Like I have no story worth telling.”This sounds lovely, and I’m always excited to visit DC, even if it’s only in books.
