Easy good read. SJM does a really nice job of hooking you in for the last 100 pages. She never disappoints. Excited to see where this new story line goes

This story is a sweet love story where the conflict is internal and the character needs to overcome herself. Very cute. Loved it!

This was the best book! I wanted to keep reading it and was sad it was over. My favorite part was probably when Daisys friend wished to be a grown up, at the wishing well, and she turned into a grown up but she learned she didn’t like being a grown up and she turned small again at the end of the book. She wanted to be a kid. Matilda - age 7

It was a different type of a book. I listened to it rather than reading it. I am not sure I like Cara. She doesn’t seem to self reflect about how she treated her son and what she did to him like as mothering him too much and throwing an iron at him. She doesn’t seem to really look at her own weaknesses.

I think June B is the funniest group of books. She is hilarious.

Enjoyed this book the whole way through. I loved to see everyone’s different view point of the family system and their individual dynamics. How certain feelings can be misinterpreted and missed by those closest to you.

This is a good one. My son can easily fill in the blank while reading this because it is repetitive.

I think it had too many different points of view and I didn’t enjoy the back and forth timelines but overall it was a decent story. I really liked reading from the state trooper’s point of view the most.

I read this as part of an all school summer read. The two author voices create an authentic experience providing two perspectives. I appreciated the back and forth of two young people sharing vulnerabilities coming from different backgrounds, using a forgotten medium that allows for a mindfulness that I think young people could benefit from. I did think the novel attempted a lot with all the issues it covered.

In this post-pandemic world, raising a resilient, active and engaged elementary schooler can be a little tough. The helpful paragraphs and short, easy-to-understand suggestions are reassuring and giving the reader guidelines to follow.
