So many books. So little time. This old adage is printed on t-shirts, mugs, and bumper stickers. And it’s so true. Especially in the life of a reviewer or someone who works closely with books, because amidst all your work, you’re constantly reaching for the newest titles and letting some of the older titles slip […]
One of the most anticipated sequels in my library was Jellaby: Monster in the City. I lost count of how many times students would come asking for a sequel. Some of my frequent flyers would ask when the next book was coming out two or three times a month. While hearing the same question over […]
To be honest, I read this title a while ago, and set it aside to review for when I was caught up with my life. And while I’m still catching up, I actually felt compelled to finally put up this review after watching my 8-year-old niece read this aloud to her 6-year-old sister. My one […]
Sometimes it’s hard for an adult to read a story for children and enjoy it for what it is. Just a story for children. On first read, adults reading The Big Adventures of Majoko might just shrug their shoulders wondering where is the complexity in this story or the oomph, but upon a second read […]
One of the pivotal battles of the Civil war was the battle of Gettysburg. C.M. Butzer attempts at making the battle and Lincoln’s speech come alive for upper elementary school readers. While the actual battle itself only makes a small appearance, the events surrounding it and the explanation of why this was such an important […]
One of the most popular sections in my library, aside from the graphic novels, is books on drawing. It’s often that a student comes up to me and says they’re writing/drawing their own comic. These students request books on how to draw and how to write comics. And while Jessica Abel and Matt Maden’s Drawing […]
When I unpacked my order a couple of months back and saw “The War at Ellsmere,” I was sure I had ordered the title by accident or that the vendor had sent me the wrong title. I couldn’t recall even hearing about the title, let alone being interested enough in the description to order it […]
It took me a while to read James Patterson’s Maximum Ride series. I don’t read his adult books, they’re just not my type of reading, and I wasn’t sure what to make of his YA book. But I finally had to read it, to see what all the buzz was about and I liked the […]
It’s hard to believe it’s already March. With February being on the short side, March seems sneaks up on you somehow. (Though with the N’Easter that’s hit us on the East Coast, I’m not sure how you could miss it.) Aside from signaling the end of winter, and the beginning of spring (I can’t wait!), […]
Back in December, I read Don Wood’s Into the Volcano and was captivated. I didn’t expect it. To be honest, the cover didn’t appeal to me. But once I got into the story, I couldn’t put it down. But since this was previously reviewed on Good Comics, I thought I would satiate some of my […]
