Good books to read

Egg has to be careful to not fall

It was a really good book.

Do not mix up you're words

I LOVE this series so much, and I LOVE this book. My favorite part was when Cassie got kidnapped (and survived). I also loved when Dean came to comfort her and she eventually went with Dean over Michael. #Dean

This book reminded me of visiting my abuelo in the summer, who looks a lot like Xavier- the father in this story. Almudena's experience as "off brand", as a "no sabe" kid, resonates with my own Latina experience- wanting to understand something that is intrinsically a part of you but feeling like an impostor because you were raised separate from it. I also enjoyed the LGBT+ and religious themes in this story, as it shows that being different or doing things differently isn't wrong, and people should be respected and loved regardless of it; or else that misplaced hatred can fester inside of you like we can see with Beto. I loved this story and will definitely revisit it in the future

I don't remember much from my schools US History classes, but this was a great dive into the first years of Revolution in the US. I remember myself constantly thinking- how, just how did we make it through this? There were obstacles and short-comings (men and equipment alike) that could've prevented GW & his troops from ultimately winning; and, there were many losses along the road to independence. This book definitely inspired feelings of patriotism and a gratitude for those who came before.

This was a lovely and imaginative read, with a great magic system and layered characters! I greatly enjoyed the journey it took me on, and am glad I picked it up!

There was a contest and they had to do a thankful list. Whoever won was able to invite their parents to the classroom and bring food . Mrs. Gutsman was going to make pie and Junie B. Jones’s class won!

I loved reading about how the whole town came to love Bobby. And Bobby was always visiting his master even after he died. I also loved that his name was the same as my brother.
