Puff, The Magic Dragon

by Peter Yarrow

View in Library Catalog

I liked Puff the Magic Dragon and thought it was very funny that even that little boy got too old. Puff got sad at the end when the boy left him.

Wild and Wrangled

by Lyla Sage

View in Library Catalog

Finished, and it was not bad but the main characters didn’t feel real or well developed. Not the big ending to the series I was expecting.

The Turnout

by Megan Abbott

View in Library Catalog

Kind of an odd story. Two sisters own a ballet studio that was passed down to them by their mother. When the studio is damaged, a contractor is brought in and delays and weird things happen. Not what I expected.

Portrait Of A Spy

by Daniel Silva

View in Library Catalog

This book ended differently than his other books. It was sadder and yet more inspiring. The female who became a spy was courageous and brave. I liked the book and would recommend it.

I'm Glad My Mom Died

by Jennette McCurdy

View in Library Catalog

A powerful story that truly opens one’s eyes to the different forms of abuse and mistreatment faced by some (and how these can go unaknowledged both by the victim and those watching).
