Welcome to Litsy!

This is a cute story about you g aged children having fun with their friends

“Well, maybe not a world champion. And maybe not a champion at all. But I‘m good. Very good.”

This graphica is about karen, a second grader, who loves to have fun with her friends. In this book, the author explores adventures on her roller skates. Overall, this book is fun to read but not my favorite.

This would be a perfect fall read, and Luthien thinks I‘ve stayed up too late reading the rest of it! Anna is a teenager in a family with psychic powers that also run a bed & breakfast. She meets Colin, who is just now learning his own connection to magic after the murder of his parents. Together they work to find the killers. The book has a sequel, but it also works very well as an independent story.

This middle grade story takes place in the days leading up to Samhain and has cozy fall vibes while the characters fight an evil wraith.

This was a hard one for me to rate because I thought it was a fun story, but at the same time, it didn't feel developed enough. It didn't have much depth, which is fine in a middle grade book, but I think it would have made the book richer. I didn't find it memorable. While being something I really wanted to enjoy, I felt indifferent toward it. I'm going to read the next book, and maybe that will help sort out my mixed feelings.

This was a lovely middle grade. It does deal with grief, death, and murder of parents. The main characters are about 14 in age.

Ravenfall is a magical B&B standing at the border between our world & the Otherworld & the family that runs it all has useful magical powers except for Anna whose only power is foreseeing death. But then Colin shows up looking for his missing brother & information about the magical creature that killed their parents. Soon, even greater mysteries are revealed even as the border between the Otherworld & ours weakens. A fun story with sequel coming.
