Welcome to Litsy!

Mrs. W. rear-ends an old lady, Mrs. Harrington, then Jess & Liz befriend her & help out around her house. Jess is particularly taken with her, especially once she discovers Mrs. H. is really a famous retired movie star, Dolores Dufay. She pays for Jess to take acting classes & helps her with a school play. I actually really enjoyed this because I love it when Jess acts like a decent person & does the right thing. So refreshing! 😆4⭐️

Five kids band together to help someone, but have to fight against prejudice and an evil lunch lady every step of the way. I liked the story, but wished for more resolution for each of the kids. Recommended to me by a kiddo in my Bookworms book club for our next group read.

Reading Blume always brings me back to my childhood!

A favorite of my daughter's. She still laughs hysterically when we read it.

My #Bookspin and #Doublespin for March. Both have been on my shelf for a while now. I loved Jamieson‘s Roller Girl and Infidel is the second book in a trilogy.

Spicy Book Bracket
I picked the entire series of Variant Lost. This series was so good. I loved the story, the character building, the emotion, and how similar parts of the story are to current American events. And while technically it does have some mild spice, it really was more of a sci fi/fantasy dystopian story. It's really only on this book bracket because it's pushed/listed as a reverse harem, fated mate romance book.

At the suggestion of @TheBookHippie, and for the sake of my mental health, I swapped this out for #withthebanned. It's also a #childrensclassicread2025.
While my experiences in school were not as extreme as in this book, this did bring me right back to my elementary days. I wish I had read this book back then. Blume understands the dynamics of grade school, as well as the herd mentality that bullying often has.
