The themes, language and situations are realistic. There is some mature language and while no actual sexual scenes are shown, images can be sexual with overtones to having sex and pregnancy. Therefore, this is for mature/strong ages 13 to adult. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Every autumn the village places lanterns in the river and lets them float off to the unknown. Legend has it, they become stars. This year, Ben and his friends are determined to follow the lanterns to their end. They make a pact: No one turns for home. No one looks back. Yet, eventually all but Ben and “tag-along” Nathaniel, are left. That will not stop Ben. Tonight, is the night for adventure. Even if that adventure includes a talking bear, a busy witch, a giant dog, a rickety gondola boat and catching the sun. Color, or the lack of, plays an important part. Mostly there is blue and dark colors with scattered white and yellow of light. Text and illustrations complement each other perfectly for the 10 to 14 (to adult) crowd. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

A well-done story that flows into a (possibly) new mythos of what you might be used to for Harley Quinn. Our Harleen Quinzel is a 15-year-old girl, with $5 and a backpack who is sent to Gotham to live with her estranged Grandmother, only to learn that she has passed away. The owner of the building, Mama (a proud, large gay man who runs and performs in a drag-show with other tenants) takes her in, on the condition she goes to school where she meets Ivy (a teen vegan who loves plants and fighting injustices) and the son of the family who is trying to “better” the community by condemning buildings, including Mama’s! All her life Harley has tried to set right wrongs she experienced, and she will help her new family by any means necessary. But since she tends to leap and not think, things do not go as planned. And don’t forget to read the illustrations, too. As there are fun nuggets that are not given through the text. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
