Fish in a Tree
by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt was a good book and it really showed different challenges that people might be going through, like bullying, not a enough money, learning differences and mean kids. The protagonist, Ally Nickerson has always had trouble reading and writing. Combine this with mean kids and always moving around because her dad is in the army, Ally believes that she is stupid. Until a new teacher, Mr. Daniels can change her mind and help her and her class, Ally is like a fish in a tree. Stuck.

I love the main character and the whole romance aspect. Great queer representation. Felt ending was slightly lacking but still loved the journey. Loved the magic, the humor, everything. Hard to put down.

I enjoyed reading this. So far I have read all 15 other books in this series and this one was good. Not my favorite but I liked it and I hope that there is another one after this one.

I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone. I don’t need a book that mentions the pandemic all the time and I didn’t like the main character at all either. It was a predictable read.

Really good and cute short read! This is a teen romance story mixed in with mythology. The characters are realistic and relatable and the ending is satisfying, even if it wasn’t what I had hoped. Overall would definitely recommend!

Not my favorite, I wasn’t a huge fan of either main character and found the plot was very predictable.
Our Missing Hearts

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.

I thought that I would like this more than I did. I liked reading from the viewpoint of Lily more than Matthew. Although the plot of this story kind of reminded me of Crazy Rich Asians.

A fun, light romance. It was a cute read. A few moments that kind of took me out of the storyline, but overall I enjoyed it for what it is.
