3 stars A nice new spin on a self-help book with adorable illustrations and helpful advice on how to be the best you(nicorn). The overall emphasis of this book is how to be happier and enjoy life more. I think we all need a little help in that department. The cutesy artwork and magical theme…

3 stars Found this in a Little Free Library and was intrigued by the title.  Overall, this was an entertaining book. Obviously it is a bit outdated as pretty much all of the problems presented could have been solved with the incorporation of cellphones. Because of this, I think some young readers may have a…

2 stars I found this at the library and was immediately drawn in by the creepy and quirky art style. Now that I’ve finished it, it’s a bit hard for me to rate. I’m sort of between 2 and 3 stars, but I think I have to go with 2 because, on the whole, the…

5 stars Another fantastic, amazing, superb Hilda adventure. I loved this book. It was so good. I was immediately hooked by the concept. As with the other books, I loved the story, I loved the characters. Everything was just perfect. This one does have quite the cliffhanger at the end. I am going to be…

4 stars I loved this collection. I recently wrote a review for a book, complaining that all the characters did was argue with one another. The characters in this book argue on nearly every page, yet it was somehow still fascinating. Apparently it’s the quality of the arguing that matters. A really interesting book that…

4 stars I work with a kid who loves numbers and dinosaurs. This book provided a perfect combination that he really enjoyed. This is a very cute book. Adorable way to countdown from ten with fun alliterations and rhymes. The illustrations are very fun and cute. I loved all of the different dinosaurs featured. The…

3 stars Nice intro to Shazam’s character. This is a Step 2 book, recommended for preschool to grade 1 readers. The language used is very simple with some basic vocab and short sentences. This is just an intro book; there isn’t really a plot or story. It just goes through how Shazam got his powers…

4 stars Overall, I thought this book was well-written. It is a Level 2 book for grades 1-3 based on the Lego Ninjago TV series. I am way behind on the show so I haven’t made it to this episode yet, but the book was easy to follow. Even without knowing who everyone was, I…

5 stars I have been meaning to read Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls since it first came out. I love books that focus on amazing women and their achievements, such as 25 Women Who Fought Back, The Little Book of Feminist Saints, and Amelia to Zora: Twenty-Six Women Who Changed the World. ThenGood Night Stories for Rebel Girls 2 came…

4 stars A brilliant piece that explores various trans experiences through art forms such as prose, poetry, and screenplay. This project took first-person submissions from various youth at For the Love of Learning and dramatized them in a powerful play. The book includes the text of the full play as well as some of the…
