Sandy Stark-McGinnis’s debut Middle-Grade Novel Extraordinary Birds was by far one of the most beautiful books I read in 2019. I loved the powerful message and the way it didn’t pull punches. So I’m absolutely pumped for her next novel! Cassie’s always looked up to her mom, a vivacious woman with big ideas and a […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Rick
SO As you know I loved George by Alex Gino so when I heard about this companion book I was SO HYPED. Rick’s never questioned much. He’s gone along with his best friend Jeff even when Jeff’s acted like a bully and a jerk. He’s let his father joke with him about which hot girls […]
REVIEW: George
My Thoughts: I was a little nervous about how this book would go, especially as it is middle-grade. But I had heard some very good things about it from people I trust (ahem Star). THIS WAS THE MOST CINNAMON ROLL SWEETNESS I COULD EVER IMAGINE. It was everything I hoped for and everything I ever […]
Blog Tour: The Dark Lord Clementine
My Thoughts: It’s easy to read the first chapter of this book and assume it’s going to be silly, and at times it definitely is, but it’s more than that. This book is about redefining yourself and choosing your own path. It was an oddly dark book at times, with Clementine having to watch her […]
Seventy-Seven Saturday: The Monster Who Wasn’t

Besides, Ogres aren’t so eager to go hunting.’ Thoughts: I have no idea what’s going on in this passage but OMG I need to find out. I wanted to […]
REVIEW: Extraordinary Birds
My Thoughts: This sweet Middle-Grade novel was originally recommended by Kelly. I was searching for some good trans fiction and Kelly had just read this one. I’m not a big reader of Middle-Grade fiction, so I wasn’t sure ho I would like this. OMG did it just rip my heart out of my body and […]
Waiting for Wednesday: Tunnel Of Bones
In May, I had read City of Ghosts, to which Tunnel of Bones is a sequel to, and loved it. It’s the creepy kind of middle grade I thrive on when I’m feeling down. I really like that it was written from the aspect that kids are intelligent. It’s one of the more frustrating parts […]
REVIEW: The Legends Of Greemulax
Following in the tradition of J. K. Rowling and Roald Dahl, Kimmy Schmidt is an exciting new voice in middle-grade fantasy adventure. This debut will change the way boys and girls everywhere see the world — and each other! Penn dreads the day that he will start to become a monster, but it’s inevitable. The […]
