Definitely a great new one for Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Can't wait to read this one in storytime!

Looking at the other goodreads reviewer's have summed up my feelings about this book. A good introduction to the gay rights movement but I definitely agree that it focuses on white men for the most part. There are a few mentions of lesbians and of trans people but mostly men.

This is a great YA read for those above average readers. It's the story of Frankenstein but through a steampunk lens, with it showing how the book could have been based in reality. I really enjoyed it.

I thought it would concentrate more on Lafayette's return to the US, but a good look at the Revolutionary War in Vowell's traditional style.

If you have someone in your life who is a fan of Erin Hunter, they Will probably also enjoy this book.

A good look at the life of Joan of Arc, but I agree with the many other reviewers who say back matter of some kind would have been appropriate.

An interesting look at religion from one person's perspective. A good introduction to the five major religions.

This book creeped me out a lot at the beginning, to the point where I almost put it down. A boy creates a separate world just so a girl would love him? I found that creepy, although I think high school me would have not had as many concerns. Anyway, Johnathan Aubrey has been able to build worlds since he was in a plane crash when he was ten. However, recent events have caused his "Kylie-loves-me" world and the real world to start colliding. Can he put everything back to normal?

I sat down and read the book in one day, so it definitely has the plot to keep you reading. I'm not 100% sure I understand the whole world-building thing (to explain why risks spoilers) but it was an interesting concept I haven't read about a billion times before. I'm not sure it will end up high in my list of favorites, but I'm definitely intrigued enough to see what else Jen Brooks can come up with.

This is an excellent anthology of comics.
