why i chose the book: I don't really know. I was just trying to get more books to read. this book caught my eye.
I haven‘t been on here much in the past few weeks because I‘ve been traveling and exhausted, but we were excited to visit @FountainBookstore today for the first time! ❤️ (The tagged book is the one I bought there for this guy.) #raisingreaders
pickI enjoyed this audio. I don't think it was life-changing, but it was a solid, classic fantasy middle grade with all the right elements: a mysterious castle, kids with freedom to adventure on their own, lots of magic! Most importantly for me was an unusual element: adults, while mostly off-screen, are portrayed as sympathetic characters with problems and rich lives of their own. All the characters were nicely designed. Recommend.
Good narrator. Just started. Pretty good so far.
pickLoved this one. A short fantasy and one I really quite enjoyed.
pickQuick read. A little magic and mystery -- adventure and a bit of drama. Although predictable ending from my old lady perspective, young middle grade readers will be charmed. Recommended. #24in48 @PenguinPublishing @penguinusa
Waiting for water to boil in my new electric kettle, then diving into this promising middle grade book by one of the Ephron sisters. Described as Secret Garden meets Half Magic. I'll let you know. (I've been a kind of #24in48 fail). The mug is from a mystery lovers' email list
A brass key that unlocks a gate to a garden, mazes, and a new friend. A book about wishes, friendship, and a little magic. Set in England.
