This delightful misadventure teaches not only subtraction but also perseverance and determination. And it’s funny—which every collection needs.
A pure and perfect capture of first love, joyful and painful in the worries and doubt; the love on the page is so vivid it raises goosebumps of veracity and provides parents with a model to share with any child in the throes of a lasting crush.
Ideal for shelves about outsiders and those who march to that different beat, this encourages all children to view the world with wonder.
With its gorgeous and intricate illustrations, this is perfect for sharing one on one, and is recommended for most collections.

This series debut has something for most readers—a complex female heroine, middle school angst, plenty of action, and magic—which will leave them eagerly turning the pages
Recommended as a well written, cathartic narration of a young teen struggling with her father’s death and finding her true self.
A touching coming-of-age story, this is highly recommended for younger audiences who are looking for alternatives to more mature titles like Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give and Nic Stone’s Dear Martin without losing the poignancy of the topics at hand. A must-have for middle school collections.
