This was such a fast and cute read and I’m pretty sure Ashley wrote it just for me. Full review to come!
Merged review:
All fans want is to know what the happily ever after means so thank you to Ashley Poston for writing fan fiction for her own series!

Pandemic apocalypse in a pandemic (apocalypse?)? Yes.
This book does have an unexpected twist in it. I was spoiled so don’t read other reviews!

If you find a puddle on the floor, don’t step on it because it’s me after finishing this story.
When I went to the Scholastic Graphix party at SDCC, everyone was talking about Hey, Kiddo, the graphic novel memoir from a well-loved graphic novelist. I’m a fan of telling personal stories in this medium, because the art just adds a layer of depth that you wouldn’t get otherwise, especially when the storyteller is also the artist.
Honestly, if I had to tell you my favorite part of this book, it would be the author’s note and note about the art. These pages give us closure and insight into Krosoczka’s process, something I am always interested in learning about.
It’s easy to get caught up in the sorrowful pieces of Krosoczka’s life, with addiction and family dynamics at the center. Throughout the story, I found hope and a sense of love and support, even when things were tough. Adults who encouraged young Jarrett. Friends who stuck around for the long term. Grandparents who provided stability. I loved the inclusion of real life drawings from young-Jarrett’s past.
Hey, Kiddo is a book that could open old wounds for those of us with family addiction in our past but I left feeling rekindled and reminded that through the bad, there is good. The message of hope and resilience is strong. I hope everyone finds room in their heart and libraries for this book!

A cute little campfire story perfect for Christmas!
I adored this book. Full rtc
FYI there are pages of HP references that could (and should) have been removed. They don’t add anything to the story but serve to harm the community.
