Everdark by Abi Elphinstone

This book is still available to request on NetGalley as of posting this review Sometimes I dabble in books aimed at a younger audience to keep things interesting. This particular book is small, action-packed at aimed at an audience of young kids with stars of adventure in their eyes and a fondness for quirky people…

Maddy Alone By Pamela Brown

I remember reading The Swish of the Curtain (Blue Door #1) by Pamela Brown when I was younger and the British Council library was a place I frequented. I never knew then, that there was still more to the tale of those kids. Their future is part of more books and I jumped at the chance of…

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…

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…
