Welcome to Litsy!

This one reminded me of Gaiman's middle grade reads. It was full of magic, fantastical journeys, and friendships that can conquer any obstacle. There's even time travel. 😀

Thirteen-year-old Margaret must race back in time to save her father from the doom of his future. Sometimes the forces of good need a little extra help to triumph.

I‘m excited about this #bookmail that arrived on Saturday! I had excuses to shop: the #FallingForFallSwap, a friend‘s birthday, and a Book Outlet sale! (And a couple things for me managed to sneak into the cart...) The middle one is for a friend who loves Marisa de los Santos & time travel books—so perfect. The others are mine! 😁 Not pictured are the books for my secret swap match—now I just need to wrap everything & get my box on its way!

Trying to decide if I want to go out today or not. Maybe not. So picked this up instead. Lazy Saturday, hello!

Next up for the #BookTubeathon: #3 Read a book in one day. I chose Saving Lucas Biggs, a middle grade book but written by one of my favorite authors Marisa de los Santos. If you haven't read her yet....get on it!

I find it so fabulous when real life makes its way into juvenile lit! Check out this quote:
My dad's job was to find the safest places to make these fractures in the earth and to keep a close eye on the whole operation b/c there's a risk that hydrofracking can lead to a lot of dangerous stuff, like poisonous chemicals leaking into water...
Heady stuff-thanks Marisa de los Santos!

Brought this home from the library yesterday...

Oklahoma has a yearly children's book award which is voted on by readers. I just got the nominees for next year's award and I'm reading them. This was on the middle school list. I liked the main character, but the time travel element was wonky.
