Thank you to Penguin Young Readers Group for the gifted copy of The Midwatch Institute for Wayward Girls. 

The Midwatch Institute for Wayward Girls by Judith Rossell is adventurous, inspiring, and a little bit quirky. This whimsical story is great for young readers who like Matilda. I loved the artwork and the added “Useful Things Every Girl Should Know.”

Thank you to Wednesday Books for this gifted ebook to read and review. 

I love the Grimm Brother’s Fairytales so I knew immediately this was the book for me. The Forest Grimm is dark, mysterious, and beguiling. Kathryn Purdie’s writing style is captivating with complex characters and a vivid setting. I started reading The Deathly Grimm immediately, I couldn’t wait to find out what happens next.
