This is my favorite John Green novel (out of TFIOS, An Abundance of Katherines, and this one.) So I'm not sure if that's saying a lot or not. Maybe if I had read this one before TFIOS, I would have liked that one better? I don't know. I actively disliked AAOK. Maybe it was just a case of right reader right time.
I was fine with the plot of this story: boy is afraid of house being sold and moving, which would mean leaving behind his brother, so he goes on a quest to find the heirlooms his grandfather talks about. Of course, his grandfather has dementia, so if the heirlooms even exist, it's questionable if he'll remember where they are. I would have rated this book so much higher if I hadn't been annoyed by the quirky parts. The author uses musical notation to describe the volume of many sentences in this book, which I found quite distracting and not helpful. The author also would occasionally write words as if they were being squared by another word, which I could have handled on it's own but combined with the musical notations, was too much for me.
A cute transitional reader with enough puns to keep me laughing.
A cute collection of webcomics based off of an 80s video game. I enjoyed all the puns and fourth wall breaking, and I hope kids will too.
This was so good! I love this story about a little girl who wants to learn how to knit like her mother but finds the yarn tangled up in knots. They eventually figure out a way to work to gather and it is super adorable. I need to order it for my collection
I thought this book started off really slowly and then picked up speed at the end. Not my favorite book I've ever read, but I'm glad I did.
I would give this book 3.5 stars. I liked it a lot, and I found myself flipping through it on my phone. I love watching characters try to come to terms when their world alters drastically. Elizabeth has been a witch hunter, gets caught with some herbs, accused of witchcraft, and ends up being rescued by the enemy. This is also pretty clean (you might need to explain what the herbs are for, and there's some kissing and mild violence) so it might be a good choice for your advanced reader.
