It's so good and funny

Interesting to learn about Jamaica but not my favorite story.

This is non-fiction. Stephen was four year old in 1942 when he was deported from German occupied Guernsey. He and his parents were sent to a prison camp where they all survived for three years. After the war they returned to their home which had been taken over by another family. Stephen relates the events he remembers.

4.5/5 Loved it!

After being drawn to the bright, beautiful cover and meeting Annabel Monaghan at a bookstore, Summer Romance was the first of her books I’ve read. I loved this one and now I’m ready to read all the rest! A super cute romance about a divorced single parent, this book is more than just a summer romance!

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am admittedly not usually the reader who loves fantasy but I knew from reviews that I wanted to read When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley. The cover is eye-catching with the graphic of Benny and the merman. I loved the oceanic colors used for it. Benny is on his own in life after losing his aunt. He has come to America and is working as a blacksmith. Benny has difficulties with his breathing and being in an environment such as a metal shop really affects his health. Benny is a talented blacksmith and his art is noticed by the owner of one of the local amusement parks - Luna Park in Coney Island. Benny is hired to build a large tank for a new exhibit and isn't told of all the details. Benny finds himself becoming attached to the new exhibit - a real merman from the ocean. I loved Benny's compassion and moral struggles within himself and with the merman. The other characters in the book that make up the menagerie were also such a great group of characters to read about. My two favorite parts in this book were the illustrations and the storyline. The illustrations added to the story and worked together with the cover. I usually don't read much fantasy but this was such a good story. (from my Goodreads review)

Escape From A Video Game is a fun interactive book that plays out like a video game. It is really fun to read and I recommend this to anyone who likes interactive books where your choices impact the story. This book also has some humor with it.

A Year of Wonders offers a vivid look at a plague-ridden village through the eyes of a compelling narrator. The historical detail is rich, and the themes of resilience stand out. However, the pacing stumbles in the final chapters, and some plot turns feel overly dramatic. Still, an engaging read for historical

Loved it!!!!

I really liked it but it was a bit boring at times but my favorite was being able to see how ivy reacted to sunny who was a former protagonist
