⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 for this one. This series is another one by Armstrong where I want more of the side characters than the main ones. But that is almost always the case with me.
I want more Mathias, Ty, April, Kenny, Lilith, and Isabel.
Hades agrees. But also more Storm, Nero, and Raoul. I agree. 😹
After being badly injured in the car wreck that killed her mom, Jess is sent to live with the father she barely knows in the far north of Canada. When the unthinkable happens, she has to figure out how to survive the wilderness. Great, quick read with lots of tension.
Today I immediately thought to share Alabama Moon as a book with moon in the title, but of course it‘s currently checked out from my class library. Watt Key‘s books are favorites with several of my rural JH students. I gathered a few other titles to share as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the beautiful writing, the nature descriptions, the shrewd and true observations on people. The hermit character and his beliefs were just a tad too obscure for me, and at one point the father's reminiscences were a bit much. Nevertheless enjoyable, thought-provoking and well done.
This book is so interesting and the young man frustrating. The book details as much as possible the last days of Chris, a young man that goes out on his own to experience life. He makes his way to Alaska and wants to survive out in the wilderness. Trouble is he has few supplies and thinks he will be okay. The saddest part is when his parents go to the bus where he died and see how he lived for the last part of his life. Great true story.
Book 2 in the Haven‘s Rock series finds Casey and Dalton in an uneasy truce with their neighbors when a boy goes missing from HR. Excellent continuation of the series as well as a clear setup of the next book.
"I suppose I've thrown in my lot with love, and don't know any other way to go on breathing. I embrace this world... and suffer it consciously for its compensations, and fully expect to awake one day to the consequences of the bargain I've struck, since life, eventually, closes in."
