Four Different Stories by Daniel Pinkwater

I am working my way through my backlist as and when I am up for it, and the first thing I tackled was this smaller children's book that I had on my virtual shelf for a long time. This would not work for too young kids as they would probably be more entertaining for the…

The Swish of the Curtain (Blue Door #1) by Pamela Brown

There was only one main reason why I downloaded a copy of this book from Edelweiss+, and that was to satisfy my curiosity if this was a book I read almost two decades(a little lesser than that but I thought it sounded better than 1.5 decades) ago from British Council Library in my city. I…

Changeling (Sorcery and Society #1) by Molly Harper

There are days when you cannot find the right book to settle down with, it is never the books fault-just the day's. Further perusals of the books rejected on such days at a later time usually indicates a decent book if not a hidden gem. Today was one of those days. I had the time…

The Lost Path by Amélie Fléchais

I finally got around to reading some more of my 'different' books on my virtual shelf. There will be more such reviews to follow. I found the artwork of this book enticing and thought a light read was a good idea. This is a small graphic novel, aimed at attracting the attention of children but…

Sheets by Brenna Thummler

It has been a while since I read/reviewed a comic/graphic novel. This book was available in the NetGalley Read Now section and decided it may be a good time to catch up. This is a very quaint book, it has Marjorie a lonely girl trying to come to terms with the loss of her mother,…

The Orphan Band of Springdale by Anne Nesbet

This book is marked as being for middle school level, and therefore I have put it under that category as well. Though of course, I disagree with putting it in that limited a box and think it can be read by people of all ages. It is narrated by a child, and lets us view…

Books and Bricks: Rebuilding Manyano School by Sindiwe Magona

I received an advance copy of this book via NetGalley and enjoyed the short time it takes to read this book. It is an inspirational tale, one that both the young and the old can enjoy. The author has written this using her own experience in a similar situation, and the emotion shows. Despite not…

I’m Not Your Sweet Babboo! by Charles M. Schulz

I am making my foray into books designed specifically for children with this book. I state this upfront solely because I know of multiple Peanuts panels which might apply more to the mind of an adult than to children. This book is not a collection of those panels. These are simple, upfront and mildly thought-provoking…
