Should I have read this before I read the series? Nah, it was much more fun and definitely sad to read it after the series. Since I know what happens to Stormy but Odd does not yet, it's sad in that way. In this very short story, Odd and Stormy are heading to a carnival but are detoured by a recently murdered ghost which they must investigate. This was a wonderful story and makes me miss Odd so much!

bookaholic1 Such a great series..loved it 4d

Chef's Kiss Too sick to do a video review, so here we go. This time around Tariq and his knight fight the king and his men to save the children from them. Once defeated, Tariq and his crew venture out to find the other glowing man. And then the other story is the backstory of Tariq with his family and how he met a doctor who made him the rods to control the radiation. Great story and awesome graphics.

Nope, I literally made through 10 pages and had to stop. The writing was all over the place and it made me anxious just trying to read it and understand it. Not my type of calming food memoirs I usually read.

I'm enjoying the series so far. In this book, Bina and her best friend want to start a band. They find a drummer. Her friend falls in love with the drummer and things go wrong really quick now that Bina is a third wheel... Also her neighbor who has been friends with her forever is in love with her but she doesn't feel the same way. Really great graphics and a wonderful story.

I reread the first volume but the second volume was a new read for me. All I can say is wow! I never realized how bad Auschwitz was until I read this book. So sad. It was crazy how many times the author flipped out on his dad throughout the book... I get it he was driving him nuts. Beautiful illustrations throughout. A must read for everyone.

TheBookHippie I agree. Everyone should read it. 2w

This was an amazing read and so cute! Aggie lives in a haunted house with a ghost who is driving her nuts. The ghost does not follow her rules and she just wants to be alone. What is she to do? The illustrations are adorable and the story made me laugh out loud a few times.

William11 I noticed you enjoy memoirs. Do you have a favorite that really stayed with you? 3w
booklover3258 @William11 That's a tough one. I would say Michael J. Fox's were definitely amazing to listen to and you can hear how the MS affected his voice in later memoirs. On the flip side, Dave Grohl's one was just wonderful, funny and sad when he talked about Cobain. 3w

I truly love David's writing. This book of poetry was 99% good and I normally don't like poetry. There's a lot in here about his father and it's very emotional. All in all a decent read.

ncsufoxes My husband is an oncology research scientist, he‘s an expert in colon & pancreatic cancers. When our kids were younger he used to explain to them how their food travels through their digestive system & organs (at dinner time). He‘d do all these silly motions & sound effects. They thought it was so hilarious. My 10 year old was just saying about how much she loved learning the journey her food took. 1mo

Just enjoying the series so much! So much as happened in this book, it's hard to do a synopsis. The residents in the nursing home are moved to a safe house but they still have to fight monsters, granny and Mary are still at ends with each other and more iconic figures show up in the book. Beautiful graphics and amazing story. Looking forward to finishing it with the next volume.
