Middle School Monday – See How They Run by Ally Carter
Ally Carter is one of my favorite authors for a number of reasons. She writes complex, dynamic female characters who are tested mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Charlie is doing his best to fly under the radar now that he’s in […]

Middle School Monday – The Girl in the Well is Me by Karen Rivers

Bruised, bleeding and trapped, we begin Kammie’s story as she is already stuck in the well, a victim of three ‘mean girls’ from her new school. Kammie has recently moved from the northeast to a small […]
