Loved it so much. I may have cried at the end.

I thought it was pretty good. There were a few parts where I felt like a sentence or two was missing, but overall it was a good story.

Thank you NetGalley for a free copy of this book.

This was darker than Dev's other books, with references to sexual violence. This made it hard for me to read at times. I think I like Ria's story a lot more.

So sad with a bit of hope.

An enjoyable and tense look at one Muslim's experience in New York City, when he is asked to spy on his friends and neighbors for the government.

I enjoyed this story about Maggie, a secret hacker, and her new friend Lena. In their tiny town, they stir up a little bit of (good) trouble, even if their principal doesn't agree. One thing I enjoyed about this story was finding out how far Moxie goes. I assumed it was a beverage you only got in Maine. Turns out you can get it many places!

I read this one because it was the only nominee for the Children's Book Award in the middle-grade category that I hadn't read yet. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the first book in the series. Hilo is pretty cool, and the ending is quite a cliffhanger.
