Read it in a weekend. Pretty good, definitely liked the parts with the Queen and Queen Mother.
Would like to go back at some point and read the whole series. Still really good.
I really liked a lot about this one--the road trip, learning about the Green Book, and seeing a grandparent/grandchild relationship. There was a twist that sort of soured me on the ending, but overall, it's a fun romp.
This book is very, very cute. I enjoyed seeing Liz Lighty come out of her shell, and there was definitely a lot of relatable teen moments. There are times when I think I have been Gabi, and there have been times where I have been Liz (and maybe even times when I have been Jordan.) Stone made me laugh every time she was on the page. This book also has some tough issues in it, and I think it will make teens think.
I'm not a huge King Arthur fan (well, not that I have strong anti-Arthur feelings, I just never really read any of his stories until Mists of Avalon in high school and I think that book charted how I feel about Arthur in general.)
I did like Guinevere being a bigger part of the story, and acting behind the scenes. I also liked a lot of the twists that happened. I *think* I know part of the secret of Guinevere's background, but I'll be interested to see how it is revealed. I think middle schoolers and teens will eat this up.

500 pages of honesty, getting at the heart of some intense emotions, with the usual funny bits in there too.
A good look at technology in young children's lives, and how we can help parents navigate it.
This is a really cute slice of life story set in Ireland. Our main character, Nishat, is a Bengali teen who is on the verge of coming out to her family. She has support from her younger sister Priti (and honestly, their sister relationship is one of my favorite things about the book.) Her life slowly gets thrown for a loop when Flavia, a friend from childhood who might become something more. Both of them are in a business class, and both choose a henna business as their project. Will their potential romance survive the competition?
This book touches on a lot of things--coming out, being outed, cultural appropriation, changing friendships, what racism is. While not minimizing the pain, Jaigirdar does a deft job of keeping the story relatively light feeling. This story is also pretty chaste, so you could give it to a middle schooler who is reading up and it would be fine. I really enjoyed it.

A great story about fear. It's particularly from the view of someone moving from one country to another, but eventually it expands to everyone's fear. A must read for anxious children everywhere.
Well now that I finally got my hands on a physical copy, I could read the last thirty or so pages of this book. An excellent end to a trilogy, with many twists and turns.
