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.

I really did not like this one. The pacing was very slow. I liked the present timeline more than the past .

While the book had the main character gaining great benefits from meditation, astrology readings, and yoga, none of which are my thing, the story included these things in a humorous way which made the book enjoyable. It’s the story of a year in the life of a 30 year old woman who, as the title suggests, finds 30 things she likes about herself. I really enjoyed the book.

I enjoyed the overall concept of this book, especially the conclusion of the adventure at the end. However, I found it lacked in enough action and suspense to keep me truly engaged.

Annie Barrows and Sophie Blackall did a wonderful job with the Ivy and Bean series and Stella and Marigold is nothing short of that. I love that each chapter told a different story!!!! I give it 5 stars!!!!

This book is so helpful for any teen interested in growing their financial literacy and independence

This book was really good and really fascinating. I like that it was about goblins because I really like fantasy books.

It was a funny book and I read it myself

I read this book based on our book club's recommendation and also as it was a library staff pick. While told in its own unique way, the plot reminded me of so many things that have happened/are happening in society and the world. I got the impressions of COVID and anti-Asian sentiments, the removal and separation of children from Native Americans as well as their return from successful adoptions, separation of immigrant families at the border, etc. The "Crisis" and PACT were universal in their meaning as was the resulting abuse of power and tendency to look the other way. The way Celeste Ng told the story through the eyes of young Bird was very interesting, and the young adult fiction book, "The Giver", kept coming to mind.

The plot was fairly predictable, but the descriptions of the unusual setting, the weather and the seed vault made for an interesting read.
