I loved this book from the very opening scene. The quirky characters caught me right away. Then when you realize how intricately Erin Entrada Kelly wove together the myriad of little tiny connections it is no wonder this book took the Newbery in 2018.

Pretty rough read. It took me almost a year. But it was worth it.

Nothing like a good middle grade murder mystery. The plot twists are amazing and the character development is spot on. First in the series, can‘t wait to read the rest.

Good plot twists. Loved it ❤️ but it won‘t be my top pick for the Great Stone Face Award.

This graphic novel is epic! Loved everything about it, it transported me back to my high school days SO HARD! We used to make elaborate movies just like these kids... and loved Star Wars! Nerds rejoice and put this on your TBR.

Beautiful. Quick. 340 pages of small moments to track one magical day.

Fabulous novel in verse. One of last year‘s Great Stone Face nominees that I missed. Love all the references to Kate DiCamillo‘s Tale of Despereaux.

This was beautifully Illustrated. I suppose I‘m a bit of a traditionalist though in that the descriptive language was certainly missed.
