Bullies, Lies and The Answer

Farah Rocks Fifth Grade t by Susan Muaddi Darraj

by Leave a Comment

The first point I need to make is that there were a few “technical” difficulties with the story for me. It reads as if it was book two/three in a series. While researching to see if it was a series, I noticed that it looks like just Farah Rocks will not be out until at least August 2020. However, there is enough information in Farah Rocks Fifth Grade to be a stand-alone title and a “prequel” is not needed. Susan Muaddi Darraj created a book […]

Swing It, Sunny by Jennifer L. Holm

by Leave a Comment

I read the Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm Sunny series of graphic novels out of order. The good thing for the adult reader is that they should be able to pick the story up regardless of where you start. However, for the aimed audience of ages 10 to 14 (maybe ages 8/9 for the stronger reader as there is some context that might be a bit “much” for the sensitive reader) it probably is best to read them in order. Therefore, first up is […]

Hop along Teetu

The Bold, Brave Bunny by Beth Ferry

by Leave a Comment

“B is for Brave; B is for Bold. B is not only for … bunnies!” And we see the bold bunny Teetu show us how he can be brave, how much beauty there is in the world, how one bunny can make a book and how there is no place like home even if there are so many bunnies it is not funny. Beth Ferry’s The Bold, Brave Bunny is simple, but far from simplistic. There are some grand details with Chow Hon Lam’s illustrations, […]

Pass the tacos and hold the screams

Apocalypse Taco by Nathan Hale

by Leave a Comment

When I first saw the cover of Apocalypse Taco, I was wondered if it was going to be a mystery or a cultural coming of age story. I never expected mutant tacos that replicate cars or a multiple armed and legged person who is besties with a tooth monster. Never having read Nathan Hale, I had no idea what to expect. But then again, I did not expect mutant bee-squid creatures or alien dimensions. But, of course, neither did our main characters, 11-year-old twins Axl […]
