This is pretty cute for a comparison book.

Another fun concept book.

I get that you don't want to make children too upset, but I'm not sure saying they had fun is the answer, or making it seem like chlidren got to play a lot and then noting that she was 6 when she started working. What age is a child then?

A fun look at the show and a few ideas to make your life better.

I chose to read this because one of my patrons voted for it as their best MSBA book of the year. I can see how a child would like it, but as an adult, I found it to be derivative of other dystopians I had read, and a fair amount of plot holes/ Letta not figuring out semi-obvious things. I DID really like the ending, which did not tie up neatly. So, for a kid who hasn't read a bunch of these types of stories yet? Good. For an adult who has? Not so much.

An overview of the various Apollo missions to the moon, with plenty of lovely back matter to encourage further reading for older children. Excellent.

I need all the Captain Marvel now kplzthx

In anticipation of my library's MSBA party, I am trying to read all the books the kids voted for so I have an idea of what they are taking about. This was a fun quick mystery about a missing mascot that has illustrations in addition to text. I can see the appeal, and it made me giggle. I do have the sequel at my library, and I think that will appeal as well.

Another book voted on by one of the library kiddos. I never would have picked it up based on the cover and my disappointment when it wasn't historical fiction. It ended up being pretty good. It's about a town with a lot of traditions and what it means to grow abs keep those. There is also a Lord of the Flies element when the adults all fall asleep. Part of it reminded me of how Maine can be, because there were definite moments of "well that person isn't from around here so they must be suspicious". Not my favorite, but it helps me get an idea of what kids in my new library like to read.
