Olaf and Essex by Patti Calkosz
Very much an outlier for this middle-grade novel. Didn't like the writing at all.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 758 comments Two middle-grade graphic novels. One based on a true story, one an adaptation of a full-length novel.

1. Lost at Windy River: A True Story of Survival by Trina Rathgeber
Lost at Windy River A True Story of Survival by Trina Rathgeber
Needed a bit of finetuning, but good to know an inspiring true story.

The Great Turkey Walk A Graphic Novel Adaptation of the Classic Story of a Boy, His Dog and a Thousand Turkeys by Kathleen Karr

PattyMacDotComma | 3327 comments George Saunders is one of the very best short story writers. He reveres the Russian masters. I, on the other hand, prefer his work, like the moving, inventive, bizarre stories in Tenth of December. What an imagination!

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 758 comments Bright I Burn by Molly Aitken
Bright I Burn by Molly Aitken
Based on the story of a woman in thirteenth century Ireland who was the first to be condemned as a witch. Had great potential but the writing approach was a bit too experimental. Might work better for Booker-style lit fic lovers.
