This lovely book enthralled me from the beginning. Set in the 1920s, Ophie is a young black girl who is awoken by her dad one night and he tells her to get her mom and go hide. This warning ends up saving their lives. She also hears later that her dad died much earlier that evening and she is told that he couldn’t have warned her. It is then that she starts to realise that she is able to communicate with ghosts. When she and her mom get a job as servants in a huge mansion she meets more ghosts and decides to help solve a mysterious death that happened many years earlier. An interesting story mixed with historical facts makes this a fantastic book.

A really fun read with a whole lot of heart. The underlying message throughout is kindness and it takes the reader for a quite the ride.

A fantastic graphic novel that truly shows good vs bad and how good prevails in dark times. An important reminder these days!

This fun sci-fi/ fantasynovel would be a great addition to classroom libraries. Caitlin is a misfit at school and in life. After a big story she rescues an unusual creature off a nearby beach. She bring him (Perigee) home and helps him recover but little does she know the worldwide disasters this will cause.

Just finished this great book and I can see why kids love it! Shuri is a smart, innovative, and brave girl who is helping her brother keep Wakanda safe. Girl power at its best! I particularly love the friendship between Shuri and K'Marah and how they support and embolden each other. I hope there will be more of these books to come!

I loved this book because it was about so many things I know so very little about- set in Victorian England this is the story of a young chimney sweep as she faces huge personal loss and discovers the love of others around her.

Dove into this graphic novel series and couldn’t put it down. While I don’t have the Marvel background knowledge to these characters, I enjoyed this graphic novel, as I think many teens will.

A YRCA nominee for 2021, Small Spaces has just the right amount mystery and terror to keep you reading and wanting more.
