Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you Helen 😁😁 I am going to adopt this mantra!
As always, thanks for your kind thoughts and wishes 😘

Set in the immediate post-Vietnam era, an orphaned young girl struggling to deal with her grief is sent to live with her Grandfather in Bigfoot country. Grief, abandonment, bullying, and PTSD are all a major part of this story that still manages to be sweet and gentle.

🍋 We‘ve all heard the saying, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” That is exactly what Lemonade Liberty Witt‘s mother always told her. Melissa Savage‘s HF book, Lemons, follows the life of Lemonade, or Lem for short, after her mother dies and she has to move to Willow Creek with her Grandfather who she has never met. She meets Tobin Sky, the next door neighbor who is also the CEO of Bigfoot Detectives Inc... #LAE3414sp19

A girl who recently lost her mother moves to a town joins a Big Foot Detective Agency rum by a quirky fifth grader. Major DiCamillo vibes here—it‘s a winner!

I made lemon chicken and broccoli over pasta all by myself tonight! This is huge since I'm quite (or was) useless in the kitchen 😍

The ingredients from the last post were for lemon tarts 😋🍋 I'm definitely putting this recipe in the #FeedAReader box (If @The_Naughty_Librarian likes lemons that is 😊).

I loved this book! Likable characters and fun adventures as they search for Bigfoot in their town. The characters aren't without issues and I liked how the lessons they learned were interspersed throughout the story instead of saved up until the end. Perfect book for upper elementary and middle school students.

A little light middle grade reading to kick off Mother's Day.

A quick one-evening read. A middle grade fiction about coping with the loss of an immediate family member (sometimes, the only one). Lemonade loses her mom to cancer and is forced to move in with a grandfather she never existed. Worse, she's made to move from San Francisco to a small town only famous for its one Bigfoot sighting. This is a cute little story about how the town comes together to help her get over her loss.

This came in the mail today. Middle grade fiction with a cover like that - I definitely expected it to be a light quick read. I'm halfway through the book and I've already cried twice! It's about losing someone you really care about very early in life. And how to deal with it..

Reading this today.
