pickFaith Erin Hicks does such a lovely job of epic yet gentle storytelling wrapped in beautiful art, especially in this trilogy. I enjoyed meeting new characters and seeing established characters continue to grow as they strategize how to rescue their city from its new ruler. #Comics
Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone in the US! I love the use of a grandparent/grandchild relationship to frame a historical fiction story. The tagged book does that along with a crazy adventure! Another good one is The Lost Year by Katherine Marsh. I can't wait to see your selections for this #middlegrademonday

pickSimply marvelous. An adventure tale bursting with colour, exhibiting a really expansive variety of ways to fill the pages beyond the traditional grid of panels style, character design seen in the 'monster' unlike anything I've seen before, as well as other imaginative fantasy characters. An almost exclusively female cast of characters with a variety of skills, interests, backgrounds, personalities and foibles. 1/?
pickThis was a riveting story of codebreaking, spies, and a country under pressure from its enemies. There was a fantastic blending of historical information with fascinating characters and a well-paced plot. I do wish the ending had been tied up a bit better.
pickThis is about 12 year old Willow Chance: genius, adoptee, orphan. A weird and wonderful kid dealing with grief.
pickThe ghosts are busy in London. The story has three ghost hunters who try to calm ghosts who have been trapped. Armed with all the normal ghost hunting tools and techniques Lockwood, Lucy and George are ready to help. After a bumbling case they need to redeem themselves by spending the night in the most haunted house in the city. This story is a fun read. 4/5
Still haven‘t read this but there is a book 2 and I 💗 Dan Santat‘s work so I think I will love this…
OMG! I was browsing new releases on Libby, and stumbled on this. Inkheart is in my top 3 favorite ever book series. The third book, Inkdeath, was originally published in 2007, so I never imagined a 4th book would ever come out. Happy day! I'm setting aside my current book and am gonna start a reread of Inkheart to prepare for this one.
