pickFinished book 5 of #Read2025 and #JumpStart2025
This one was a soft pick for me, some interesting stories and good characters, but feel I missed some of it because I hadn‘t read the first book in the series. When I picked it up I didn‘t realise it was book 2 from a series. I will now read book 1. I can see how I would have got more out of the book if I had read book 1 first.

pickThis novel is aimed at middle grade readers, but held me captive for sure. Jake charts his challenges with anorexia and OCD in this heartbreaking, but ultimately hopeful novel in verse. Jake and his grandmother share a love of musical theatre and reading. But he struggles to connect with friends his own age and fights off a very controlling voice in his head that is causing him great suffering. This beautiful book shares Jake's journey to healing.
so-soI never posted about this and forgot that I read it. The hopeful parts were good but the deep recollection of childhood trauma was a bit upsetting to read at times. It looks like the other books in the series are better?

pickThis book shares the story of the Great Chicago fire. It talks about how the fire started and spread as well as the aftermath
This would be a great book to talk about the Industrial Revolution. You could also use this book to talk about fire safety
“The fire raged through the night, and the city of Chicago was in flames. Nothing could stop it.”
