so-soSo-so read for me... So I won't read the rest of the series.
While there is a lot of creativity, I wasn't much taken by the plot or by the universe created...

I‘m excited to collaborate with @Karisimo to bring back weekly #MiddleGradeMonday posts! We‘ve got some prompts planned, but we would also love to hear what kind of #MiddleGrade books you would like to share or for which you would appreciate some recommendations. Let us know your ideas in the comments.
We've got lots of ideas, but would love to hear yours too! The more the merrier! @daisey #middlegrademonday
“Imagination…is a way of seeing…everything and everyone in a light of gold…correspondences and analogies and echoes and resemblances, so that nothing existed without a thousand connections to the world…”
Our library brought in Jonathan Case as part of our big community read. It was an interesting and powerful talk taking us on an adventure through the twists and turns of his career and the difficult cur balls thrown at him by life. He seems like a charismatic illustrator and author and I look forward to continuing to follow his work. #Comics #Library #AuthorTalk
pickI have SO MANY Litsy reviews to catch up on. I read this in July!!
I‘ve loved every installment of the Morrison Crow books. I loved this, too. Silverborn explores new areas of Nevermoor we haven‘t seen yet, and reveals a bunch of previously unrevealed secrets about Morrigan‘s family. Secrets are a theme here…from the secrets Morrigan carries, to the secrets she uncovers about her past. And, the plot is basically a murder mystery, which I loved.⤵️
pickThe Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest, by Aubrey Hartman (2025)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: An undead fox who ushers the souls of animals into their best fit of four afterlifes (peace, pleasure, progress, and pain) is disturbed by a prophecy of great upheaval followed by the arrival of a plucky badger who can‘t seem to enter any of the realms.
Review: This is so charming, with a dash of spooky, and a powerful message for kids of all ages. ⬇️
pickMoving to a new place is such a relatable story to so many people, but it‘s not often I encounter a story where someone moves to the other side of the world! Ruth‘s experience reminded me of making new friends and missing old ones, but I was lucky enough not to also have a language barrier and leaving a sibling behind. Ruth‘s family is right: you need courage, perseverance, and patience in life.
