If you're looking for a break from the norm of YA literature, Maggot Moon will give you much needed satisfaction. The mystery surrounding the setting & genre of this book adds a very unique intrigue that I will not spoil with this review. It is a quick and a must read about a boy living in an oppressive world who discovers a very big secret.

Tea Time with Sophia Grace and Rosie
Sophia Grace Brownlee, Shelagh McNicholas, Rosie McClelland
Age: Preschool (because I can't imagine the "storyline" will be interesting to older kids)
This book will definitely go out. The actual Sophia Grace and Rosie tell their dream party to Orli Zuravicky who definitely captures a young child's...fast-paced imagination. Let's make the invitations! Let's talk about fairy dust! Let's talk about Disneyland! The end.

Humor: Images that contrast with the words--achieved with great success!
Such wonderful illustrations of a T-Rex acting (almost) exactly as a T-Rex would at a tea party. I loved how refined the older sister acts and dresses and I enjoyed the antics of the younger brother.
There are two absolutely delightful pictures: one, the dinosaur is sitting in a "comfortable" chair that is dainty and only a fraction of the T-Rex's size; the other is after the T-Rex leaves the tea party and the room is trashed, including wallpaper peeling from the wall.

Well, you don't run across this storyline very often in picture books. I loved how LaRochelle turned a hatred of food into a quest to save her parents from that very food. She was right all along! The ending was also unique in that Martha did not suddenly begin to enjoy eating green beans and therefore learned her lesson. Oh no. Her family steered clear of those pesky green beans and instead ate other inanimate, not intimidating vegetables.

A fun interpretation of imagination between an older sister, a younger brother, and his ball.

Another decent addition to the alternate princess stories for girls that like tiaras and pink, but also want to save the day.

A lower level, straightforward book about a boy missing his mommy after she dies and how his family helps him understand and cope with the situation.

A very cute premise and delightful artwork but the story is choppy and tries to fit in too many interactions that Dodo has with his surroundings.

Something felt off about this book. The artwork was cool but the first-person narrative felt like forced humor. The first-person narration only allowed Robomop to do two things: describe the plot and whine.
