Personal rating of 4 out of 5 stars
4 stars A fantastic look at one person’s experience with mental health and asexuality. I will say this book took me a bit to get into. Based on the title and subtitle, I was expecting a focus on being ace. However, the book deals much more heavily on living with OCD and anxiety. This is…

4 stars Another fangtastic adventure at Camp Mwhaaa-haa-ha-a-watha. I’ve read this series a bit out of order as my library no longer has the second book (rip, lost library books), so I’m reading this one before getting a copy of book 2. However, while it’s probably helpful to read them in order, each adventure is…

4 stars A fangtastically good read. Perfect for fans of My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish. This spin-off series follows Mark, Tom’s evil older brother, as he sets off for Evil Scientist Summer Camp (under the cover of Eco-Scientist Camp) with his evil vampire kitten, Fang. This book can be read without having read the original series,…

4 stars An engaging story that mixes adventure, mystery, history, and a hint of the fantastical. This was a nice bit of historical fiction geared toward young readers.

The characters are adorable. And the story…

4 stars A great follow up to the first book, this one picks up right where the last one left off. Because of the narration style and in-story explanations, this could be read fine as a standalone. However, the first book is also a lot of fun so I recommend reading it. I originally listened…

4 stars Another fun-filled collection featuring Phoebe and Marigold. This one features a certain role-playing game, various holiday festivities, interactions with friends (and frenemies), and going back to music camp for the summer among other shenanigans. As always, the artwork is adorable and engaging. I loved all the new adventures and general silliness of this…
