Welcome to Litsy!

I just need to pick up this months Nancy Drew read from the library and my #MiddleGradeMarch stack is good to go. My current favorite mg author is Jason Reynolds and I‘ve read nearly all of his mg titles except the tagged title.

The art is beautiful, the story is touching, and yes, I cried a little at the end. A story of a guide dog who loses his eyesight, ends up tricked by some pesky raccoons, and learns how to use his other senses to see the world around him #friendship #dogs #blindness #netgalleybacklog #joyousjanuary

Several podcasts I listened to last year raved about this book and I totally get why. Leland has RP and has been gradually losing his sight since his teens. Alongside his memoir of slowly becoming blind, he explores the world of blindness, from assistive devices to advocacy groups to attitudes of the blind and sighted. This is a terrific read.

“Turns out, it was a North Hill tradition started by Grandpop after a fourteen-year-old black boy named Emmett Till was killed for whistling at a white woman when Grandpop was younger.”

I believe this book would be appropriate and enjoyable for upper elementary students, Reynolds' vivid writing style and the Virginia setting make this book both enjoyable and thought-provoking, making it a great choice for young readers looking for a meaningful and entertaining story.

Genie and Ernie are two brother that must adjust to the environmental differences while they move with their grandparents into a rural area from Brooklyn,NY. "As Brave as You" by Jason Reynolds is a captivating read for its engaging characters, themes of coming of age and bravery, and the exploration of family secrets. It offers readers a relatable journey of self-discovery and growth, wrapped in a mystery that keeps them eagerly turning the pages
