I received a copy from SoHo Press in exchange for an honest review. If I could give this a 4.5 I would. This book was something else entirely. The author easily seeped his entire being into it and it could be felt throughout it. You could feel the character's struggle and pain as your own. I definitely enjoyed reading it and discovering so many things that I hadn't known before. It's focused on a very terrifying and tortuous time that shaped so many people's lives.

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. LOVED the vibrant way this book was built. The illustrations and flow of the pages sucked me in the ENTIRE way. I enjoyed it immensely and can't wait to re-read it and purchase it when it's out!

I thought this was a very clever and fun way to teach children about historical figures and the things they accomplished. The fun quizzing included naturally setting up the kids for success. I enjoyed reading it myself and would have LOVED it as a child. It's informative and will definitely be a must for many ages!

Playful, joyful, unique, and eccentric. All words I would use to describe this strange but fantastical book. It was something that kept you reading purely out of seeing how it was tied up at the end. Which in return was met with being sad that it had in fact ended. I think it's something beautiful to have children read and enjoy something that strays off the path from the norm. Letting them find their own voice and interest in their material.

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review! So... This one had A LOT going on and became emotional and mind-consuming the moment I opened up to the first chapter. I don't usually like reviews with spoilers so I'll probably keep this short. But, truth be told it most definitely sucked me in and I finished it in a day. I think the topics it touches on are trigger warning worthy for sure and some people might not be able to get through it depending on their own experiences. DID is a very important conversation that needs to be had to better understand the people who live with it. From my perspective, I enjoyed the information and knowledge I received from this book on the matter as well.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review. OKAY, this one took me to places I've never visited nor read much about. The fascination I've held for Appalachia has always been there though. The few stories I've heard were nowhere near as in-depth as this book was. It was also very eloquently and smartly written, so much so that at times I had to use as much concentration as I could to really piece together the info dump chapter after chapter. Although please don't think that's a bad thing, I actually quite enjoyed it.
