Reading this book that I read when i was 8 to hopefully get out of my reading slump

Obviously this is part of my 2024 literary childhood nostalgia tour bc I am still in fact in a slump 📚

Love it so far!

Ch. 17 - I was worried about this one but it seems to be coming together. I would have been finished by now but lots of interruptions have to led me to a loss of momentum.

Page 93 of 340 Ch. 8 I immediately recognize Emily. I think I'm going to play this game in every book. The rest of the gang is here too and they have mentioned past events. I'm excited about this one.

reading when you are sick is amazing because you don’t have to do anything else! also wendy mass’s writing style is amazing for a children’s book!!!

It took this long to get to the plot of the story. I was about to give up. The author definitely has captured what it's like to be a tween. Very emotional and embarrasses easily.

Even though I’ve read this book/series before I can’t remember what happens in this one. But the connections between the characters and the town are a lot more obvious as a re-read.

it kinda makes me not want to read it but then i do and can’t put it down haha

In this point in the book, Tara has moved to Willow Falls while her mother and father go on their trip, as a result for her actions. She is getting used to this strange place and adjusting to life with her brilliant younger cousin Emily.

I am really intrigued by how Tara the main character, who never brakes rules sneaked into the principals office to steal a stuffed goat. I am at the spot where her parents tell her that they will not be bringing her on Her Moms work trip because of her disobedience.

The play went very well and Tara is starting to feel sad now because she will miss her friends and Willow Falls. Tara also found out that Angelina has been behind a lot of cursed things in Willow Falls.

Tara has figured out that Willow Falls and the people who live there are very strange and have many secrets.
