Smile: A Graphic Novel
by Raina Telgemeier
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is my first graphic novel. While I liked the story about Raina's life as a teenager - so many things that adults and current middle schoolers can relate to - I would rather have read this book as a chapter book.

Good follow up to the initial book in the series (Red Rising). Fast paced with lots of plot events happening in quick succession.

The second in this series was even better than the first! This author can spin a yarn. I love the scenes and dialogue, and there are plenty of plot twists and turns to keep you wondering.

The Skull

book cover


This book is recommended for grade 1 - 4, ages 6-9. It is formatted as a chapter book. I thought it was dark for a children's book. I've read this author before and he often has an unusual twist in his stories. I felt like a 6 year would be a little scared after reading this book. I would recommend for older kids.

Fast paced book with short chapters. All characters were well developed and interesting how the storylines were connected

Another excellent read by Marian Keyes! A rags (ish) to riches (ish) tale involving amystery illness and trails of raising a family ... the characters are so well developed that I miss (someof) them!

Doug is a funny dog who can't stop digging. He digs there, he digs here, he digs everywhere. This picture book will make young readers chuckle!

Yellowface

Really enjoyed this! Some speculative elements that I wish got more cerebral, but maybe the end just wasn't for me

Simon meets a dog that has a bone better than his. The trick is... this bone belongs to Simon's reflection! Funny story that leans toward acceptance.
