| This book was full of twists and turns, and I had no idea where it was going to end up. I was thrilled to read a book set in Estonia, a country about which I know almost nothing. I loved learning about their culture, and it sent me on a deep dive to ...more | |

| Despite reading the synopsis, I was unprepared for how sad this book would be. This is a story about the consequences of keeping secrets, whether they are mostly harmless, like forging your parents' signature so you can audition for all-county band, ...more | |

Honestly, this book had me curious with the comparison to The Goonies and Stranger Things - two of my favorite things. This is a story about friendship and overcoming fear of the "other." The author used an actual historical event—the government takin ...more |

Actual rating: 3.75 I flew through this book. I love stories that play with time! Talia lives in Pennsylvania in 1987 and Mason lives in NYC in 2023, but they have a connection through a wormhole in their closets. They accidentally become pen-pals when ...more |

I loved the first book and went into this one with very high expectations. Expectations were not only met, they were exceeded! First - I don't think I've ever read a middle grade story set in this time and place that did such an excellent job of expla ...more |

| I loved that this book introduced me to a history I didn't know much about. I have read a bit about the Harlem Renaissance, but somehow, I'd never heard of Jessie Redmon Fauset. So, I was excited to read about her. It is wild that I'd never heard of ...more | |
“Just because a book is considered “children’s literature”, doesn’t mean it’s childish. Many of my favorite books are written for children! A good story is a good story, and you will find that you enjoy many well-written books just as much (if not more) than your children.”

“Our aim in education is to give a full life. We owe it to them to initiate an immense number of interests. Life should be all living, and not merely a tedious passing of time; not all doing or all feeling or all thinking - the strain would be too great - but, all living; that is to say, we should be in touch wherever we go, whatever we hear, whatever we see, with some manner of vital interest. ~ Charlotte Mason”

“The question is not, — how much does the youth know? When he has finished his education — but how much does he care? And about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? And, therefore, how full is the life he has before him?” ~ Charlotte Mason”
