I finished listening to Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe and it’s much more meaty than I’d anticipated.

PattyMacDotComma | 272 comments I'm sorry this is as relevant today as it was in 2012. I recommend you spare a very short time to read We Should All Be Feminists by the incomparable Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. You can also watch her present it on YouTube

PattyMacDotComma | 272 comments I liked the curious (in all senses of the word) boy Waldo at the heart of Dani Shapiro's novel, Signal Fires. Where would we be without these kids who stick to passionate interests (like the universe) even when their parents don't get it?

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 593 comments Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan
Esperanza Rising – Pam Muñoz Ryan – 5 stars and a ♥
A middle-school novel that explores the experiences of Mexican migrants working the fields of California at the beginning of the Great Depression. What I really love about this story is that Esperanza is a realistic 13-year-old. Esperanza does finally realize that it is up to her to change her attitude; she must learn to let go of the past and to embrace that she is rich in the love of family and friends. The author note at the end is well-worth reading for the history lesson it imparts.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 764 comments The Warbler by Sarah Beth Durst
The Warbler by Sarah Beth Durst
Not so much fantasy as family drama. Quite good. Don't expect anything like 'The Spellshop' though; this is totally different in vibe.

PamG (lynguy1) | 735 comments Here is my 4.25 rounded to 4 stars review of Gothictown by Emily Carpenter:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Southern gothic horror / mystery
Chilling prologue
Flawed, disturbing, and eccentric characters, alarming events, a somewhat isolated location, and a bit of the paranormal
There’s a focus on both its history and the current situation of the town.
Dark, disturbing, compelling, and thought-provoking
Gothictown by Emily Carpenter
