Hazel Wood | Melissa Albert

Mehso-so

I thought The Hazel Wood was best when it was all fairytale and sinister woods. I spent a lot of time being confused and wondering about the rules and the magic. And maybe not a spoiler that all the confusion gets explained and intertwined, but I don‘t know if that‘s enough for me as a reader.

I really love the artwork by S.D. Nelson in Buffalo Bird Girl, and the repeated line, “I learned by watching and then doing,” as Buffalo Bird Girl describes the every day life of the Hidatsa with tenderness and grace.

The Poet X | Elizabeth Acevedo

Pickpick

I loved Xiomara for all her fight. Elizabeth Acevedo poetry slammed this whole audiobook and it was fantastic. Now I need the book book so I can go back through all those verses.

The Night Diary | Veera Hiranandani

“Everything is different now, even though it‘s exactly the same. I can see it all around us, but I don‘t know what to call it. It‘s like a new sound I can hear in the air.”

Just started this story about a family caught between the formation of Pakistan and the newly independent India, and their journey as refugees from their home to something new.

Speak: The Graphic Novel | Laurie Halse Anderson

I agree with the author‘s note from Laurie Halse Anderson: “The story and (graphic novel) form seemed to be a natural fit, but only in the hands of the right artist. Emily Carroll is that artist.” This was beautifully rendered.

“Citizens would do well to respect the new regime,” Crown said, his face coming into focus again. “Dissent will not be tolerated. But law-abiding citizens have nothing to fear. This is a glorious day for all of us. Nott City will be great again. I will see to it.”
