This is *not* the intergenerational friendship story the blurb promises; I think the marketing dept. had no idea what to do with it. It's pretty dark, but also tender; I was thoroughly engrossed but left going “I don't know how to feel“ by the end. The messages about loving books and the vagaries of fandom are very mixed. (Perhaps inevitable for an book written in these times.)

willaful BTW, though it's very easy to equate the author in the book to Rowling and the fandom to HP, *this* author's children's series has a character that uses they/them pronouns, so yay for that! 4d

Who Was Roald Dahl? | True Kelley

Good read in the "Who Was" series for kids 9-11 who enjoy books like "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory." Dahl had an adventurous life, made a comment or 2 he rightfully had to apologize for, and lost family members to illness/accidents. This is explained in kid-friendly ways, but too complicated for kids under 9. 4.5 stars. #kidlit #roalddahl

I didn't realize this was a murder mystery. I tried to stick it out, but I just don't care.

Very quirky book. Hard to follow at times but I think that‘s an intentional perspective of the author. Liked it but didn‘t love it

Loved this! Such a fun #roadtrip book with wit and heart. And LOTS of pie! 🥧 Possible contender for #LitPie of the year 😁 #iLovePie #Dec2024 Book111
