Yeah, this was written for those like me, the childlike!

Even as a kidult, this is still a wonderful read (reread) for me. Truly a magical story with beautiful illustrations.

This middle grade mystery was an utter delight from start to finish! Drew is a complex, lovable character. She is 12 and is a big true crime nerd, a cross between Harriet the Spy and Nancy Drew. The plot follows Drew as she chases down a cyberbully while trying to hide the fact that her mom has run off with her school‘s guidance counsellor. Ugh, her mom is the worst! Great integration of sexual/romantic orientation and disability representation!

I just want to give all these tweens fighting against a bully a big hug! This is really well done and so cute. I haven't read a middle grade book in a while and this is a great example of one!

And of course I couldn‘t pass this up for $3! We‘ve read through his Cars 5 minute stories book too many times- mama needs new material 😂

AmyG Ha, I get it. My grandson loves Cars. 1mo

Gloriously over-the-top. Blabey's now got me reading two series. The messaging is heavy-handed but appreciated. The Fugitive riff? Just a personal fave.👌🏻Have theories about those cloaks....

I say that I have a hero I‘ve never met, and he knew nothing of me but cared enough to save me, and millions of others. The research was controversial but it‘s a story that people should know, because Banting acknowledged the dogs and their contribution to the research. Without them it wouldn‘t have happened. A huge part of Canadian history.

Side note: I lived and worked just down the road from his house in London for 10 years.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wesley seeks to find a place where she belongs-in her tribe, her friends, her MS, her community; and often feels ‘not native enough‘. Especially when she writes a poem for indigenous people celebration that feels just right, but her teacher has a negative reaction to it. Written with hope and heart.
