I enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would. I have never been that into the Kennedy Assassination and the conspiracy theories, nor am I usually into King's work, as I'm not into horror. I learned more about the movements of Lee Harvey Oswald in this book than I can remember from anything else (assuming much of it is correct). Mostly what I enjoyed out of this book was the look at life in the late 1950s from the eyes of the present. I wish it talked a little bit more about race relations. I wondered if this world would really be as white as it seemed. Still, for an 849 page book, the pages were turning.

It wasn't my favorite, but I think I missed the moral of letting kids be themselves. I thought I would get a funny book about not wearing pants, but it's really more about being who you are. I think the humor is a bit more subtle than what I was expecting. It will be interesting to see how kids react to this one.

A cute story about a boy stuck in goo and the people who try to help him but inevitably get sucked in as well.

Okay, so this totally is a rip-off of "The Book With No Pictures." I still really enjoyed reading it, I laughed, and it's great for letter recognition with the letter b. One of my favorites off the K-2 Children's Choice Awards this year.

I really love this series. I love the setting, I love the characters, I love their flaws. Just love.

This book was so good. I can see why it got three stars so far. It is deliciously creepy and dark, which is something I find I enjoy more as I get older. Albert has the fairy tale tone down so well. It was a joy to read.

Alice and her mother try to stay one step ahead of trouble, but it always finds them. One day her mother gets taken and leaves the words "don't go to the hazel wood" for her. The Hazel Woof is where her grandmother lives, a famous recluse who wrote a cult fairy tale favorite. Can Alice rescue her mother with the help of new friend Finch?

My one problem with the book is indeed Finch, because I felt like his race was too casually tossed in. Granted, I read fast so I might have missed it, but it wasn't until they get to the cops that it becomes clear he isn't white. If I missed something before, I apologize. But if that's where it comes out, I think it is too jarring.

I liked this one a lot. I wanted to know more about Darcy and how she became who she was. It kept the pages turning for me!

The illustrations in this one are stunning. It is a good first look at Douglass's life for kids. Myers didn't disappoint. Coopers illustrations are incredible.

Another good biography of Malala Yousafzai. The back matter is great at the end of this one, with lots of photographs of Malala to compliment the illustrations.

I liked this one more than I thought I would. I like a magical circus story. I wasn't sold on the romance plot, but I am intrigued on the sequel.
