Head Full of Ghosts
by Paul Trembley
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Started strong and I like the plot. The ending fizzled for me. Good twist but no real resolution and I sorry of feel like the narrator would have been more traumatized…. Some odd plot holes
Table For Two

I was disappointed that this was not a novel but 6 short stories based in New York and a novella based in Hollywood in 1936. The novella made up for the other stories.
Dream State
by Eric Puchner
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A wedding, a group of college friends, a romance, a heartbreak, and choices that reverberate through generations. Also an ode to the state of Montana—and heartbreak for the impacts of a warming climate. (Not in a preachy way, but in a day-to-day impactful change kind of way: the lake when the characters were kids, vs. the lake now.) The pace was a little slow but I was engaged in the outcome of the characters.

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.
Stay Awake

Silly premise and not much of a twist at the end. Might make a better movie than book. I liked the Night Swim better.
My Side Of The Mountain

This book is really interesting. It is about a boy who ran away from home to live in the woods and how he survives.
The Honjin Murders

book cover


Charming narration offers an introduction to an endearing detective in a cozyish locked room murder mystery with a clever plot. If you’ve burned through all of Agatha Christie, this series will appeal to you.
Same Sun Here

book cover


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.

Characters were very loveable. I enjoyed the slow burn. The author paced the story very well, nothing felt too long or too short.
The Wishing-Well Spell
by Holly Anna

book cover


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
