This book breathes new life into the coming of age academic adventure genre, enhanced so much more by its dazzling, evocative illustrations. Nev is a wonderful protagonist, determined and clever, and their new friend Danny is full of warmth and heart, both characters just as eager as the reader to discover what lies lurking in the halls of Deephaven and all its mystery, magic, and intrigue. This is a timeless yet unequivocally modern classic in the making, and I cannot wait to see what the author has in store for Nev's next adventure. ~ Reviewed by Bethany Marsfelder

My 8 year-old daughter tore through this book, completely transfixed the entire time. In her words: "It's about a Korean girl and her grandmother who can see a magical tiger. It is a very good book. It might be long but I think it is a VERY good book. It's magically exciting." ~ Reviewed by Reilly Hadden

A beautifully illustrated goofy chapter book about an uptight rock scientist, Badger, who's entire peaceful life is upended by a new roommate, Skunk, and a ridiculous amount of chickens.
I had such a nice time reading this to my daughter for bedtime, well-written and funny in that hard-to-find way that entertains both the reader and the listener. ~ Reviewed by Reilly Hadden

Thirteen-year-old Pluto Timoney has lost touch with herself in the wake of a depressive episode and seeks to complete a list of tasks by the end of summer to bring her back to 'normal.' Instead, she finds patience, acceptance, and a support system that helps reassure her that she isn't as lost in space as she thinks. With astronomy as a beautiful recurring motif, this is a realistic, hopeful, and well-crafted look into what it means to be thirteen and how it feels to navigate mental illness at a young age. ~ Reviewed by Bethany Marsfelder
