pickI finished this all in one day—such fun! The main character, Hero, is trying to settle into her new house and blend in at her new school, when she finds out about a local/historical mystery she sets out to solve. There‘s a bit of mystery, a bit of Shakespeare, a bit of history, some wonderful characters along the way, and a satisfying conclusion to it all. Really enjoyed this one.
The new homeschool year is in full swing, as evidenced by the beautiful mess everywhere. We are studying early modern history, animals & evolution, and reading, memorizing, & learning all about Shakespeare. The tagged book is our first read-aloud and it is excellent—sort of a cozy mystery steeped in history and tween angst. There are some neat intergenerational friendships and commentary on social mores. Plus lots of cinnamon toast! 🤤
