I'm a lifelong children's book lover - if it has magic, talking animals, or miniature people, I'm in! I love to travel - Highlights including Sherwood Forest, 221b Baker st, and Platform 9 3/4!
Monsters! Stomping out of the sea, attacking the city! It's super cool! At least until it actually starts happening in real life, not just in Zoe's favorite movies.
A fun story of how tough it can be to find your true friends, especially if one of them lives under the ocean and is a monster.
I loved Zoe and her passion for robot-building, and the shenanigans of her triplet siblings really made me laugh! A great new graphic novel adventure. ~ Reviewed by Leah Moore
We all have dreams.
Some are big, like the desert this mother crosses, some are small like the baby in her arms. Her dream is to build a new home for them, to help him grow into his own dreams, find his voice in a new language. Together, they find a place of dreams and words - a library, unimaginable, inspiring - and their dreams come true.
Beautiful and personal, Morales has made another masterpiece!
At 3 years old Jarrett was pouring his own breakfast cereal, and his grandparents knew something had to change. They took him in, and his loving, addicted mother became a penpal, flickering in and out of his childhood.
It's a good and interesting childhood, full of good people who made not so good choices, and following his life from birth to highschool graduation. Comic-memoirs are a unique kind of book and this one is a masterpiece. With every word, we get to know Jarrett, and with every picture we come to understand him. He shows us more then he tells, and that is a joy. ~ Reviewed by Leah Moore
Fantastic historical fiction, focusing on an internment camp near Houston, TX, where American men of German and Japanese descent were held on flimsy charges - and most astonishing, their wives and children could apply to join them... Haruko and Margot, daughters of accused men, are here for that reason, though both are American citizens. Behind barbed wire, they attend the small school, live in Victory Huts, shop in the commissary, swim in the pool... it's a serial, distopian version of 1940s teenage life, that was all too real for many.
My heart was breaking and my mind was in shock at this shameful act by the Dept of Justice. Whole families were held in camps, some waiting to be shipped "back" to a "homeland" that they may never have even seen.
Shocking, and made so human in this well-told story! ~ Reviewed by Leah Moore
