My scholar ran halfway across the cafeteria to tell me about this author and of course to get her photo taken! We have 19 days left of the school season and this scholar already has a list of books that she‘ll tackle through the summer.

My soon-to-be middle schooler is already getting started on his sixth grade summer reading assignment. Happy to see he‘s not a procrastinator like his mom! 😅

Librarylady3 That is a fantastic book!!!! 2y
britt_brooke @Librarylady3 He‘s loving it! I‘m going to read it soon, too. 2y
Librarylady3 I used to read it to my middle school students as a school librarian. It captures that stage of adolescence perfectly. 2y

Librarylady3 So did you read it? what did he think? what did you think? 1y
britt_brooke @Librarylady3 He‘s about 3/4 in. He‘s gotten distracted by Attack on Titan and read several of those before finishing this, but he does really like it so far! I haven‘t read it yet. Soon, hopefully! 1y
Librarylady3 It is a beautiful book ❤️ 1y

When cell phones are banned at Branton Middle School, 4 friends come up with a new way to communicate: leaving sticky notes for each other all around the school. It catches on, and soon all the kids in school are leaving notes--though for every kind and friendly one, there is a cutting and cruel one as well....

Calling all #UK Littens! I‘m looking for 3 more people to join me in the UK group “Y” in this round of #LMPBC . I loved it when I did it a couple years ago and I‘m looking for another round. I‘m open to branching out so I‘m down for any genre.

Super excited to get readin‘ with y‘all!

Hello @Mrs_B 😊 the #litsylovefallswap is on its way to you via Hermes. It's much prettier on the inside of the box!

Got this one on the strength of his last outing “Mrs Bixby‘s last Day”... good grasp of middle school voice so far with the comedy and emotion that made “Mrs Bixby so good.”

@daniwithtea's #postlit book came, @JulAnna! (Sorry I didn't post sooner but just got back from a work trip this evening.) Thanks for the chocolate and adorable bookmarks. You're always so thoughtful.

Sharing a picture of this moving book (yes, I already read it this evening!) since its next stop will be back home once I make it to the post office.

I wanted to like this more than I did, but maybe a book about middle school boys just isn‘t aimed at me. Bullying, the power of words, the fluctuations of friendships, a lot of things weigh in here. Too much of the “if only I‘d known then” type of withholding reveals for me. I just felt like this could have been better.

i found posted while reading websites with highly recommended books, and while i thought this was a pretty good book, it didn‘t fully hit the spot for me. something about the way posted was written felt...different to me. i did think the book was good though, with relatable characters and a pretty good plot. it was a tough decision whether for this to be a pick or a so-so read, but i have deemed it a so-so read because of how the book made me feel

Normally we celebrate the power of words. Their power to make us feel accepted. Their power to make us laugh. This story is about that other power. The power of words to make us feel alone, separate, different, unwanted and unworthy. This story shows us what happens when that power takes precedence. Sometimes the endings in life and literature are bittersweet.
