Welcome to Litsy!

Beautiful artwork. The story wasn‘t super impactful but it was cozy. About friendships, apprenticing, and maintaining tradition. Perhaps loved the explanation of tea dragons and care at the end even more than the story!

I enjoyed this one.

Library Book.

4/5

This graphic novel had me in tears! Such a beautiful and poignant story about a girl struggling with her big brother‘s addiction issues. Told in dual timelines, this story also weaves in the history of the DC and Marvel comics and how those characters inspired young people for the first time.

I've seen this one all over booktube. Hopefully, I'll get to it soon. @Karisimo #middlegradeMonday

This is an amazing book narrated by a horse named Joey during WWI. Joey does different jobs and ends up traveling a lot during the course of the war. It touches on some hard topics and has some truly sad scenes, but it also has a happy ending.

This story of a Jewish/Muscogee girl had promise but didn‘t live up to it. Mia struggles with her father‘s side of her ancestry, as her very religious mother and stepfather immerse her in Jewish culture. I felt like Mia‘s mom was so removed from Mia‘s life that it seemed unbelievable. Both parents seem kind of deadbeat, despite the mom‘s constant presence (can one be simultaneously helicopter and deadbeat?). Disappointing overall.

I love this dedication:
“To Molly
and
to all the girls who fell in love with
the pirate king Elizabeth Swann”

Been recommended these by my 11 year old cousin. Should be interesting haha

I started off reading this, but ended up listening and reading at the same time for the best experience! Highly recommend doing it that way! The community and setting remind me of Deacon King Kong, even though the stories are quite different! Great MG read about anxiety, divorce, and friendships!
