Enola Holmes: The Graphic Novels by Serena Blasco (Original novel by Nancy Springer)

I have read and reviewed the previous work on the blog : here I once again ended up reading the graphic novels close to my watching of the second movie. Although the plots overlap to a minimal degree, there is a significant deviation in the storylines here.If you have watched the movie, you would like…

Enemies by Svetlana Chmakova

I have not read other graphic novels based in this world, but I was drawn to the idea of this one. I am glad I gave this a shot because it was a fun book to peruse. Fun, mostly because I am not obliged to be part of that confusing world of school anymore as…

Golden Ticket by Kate Egan

Narrated by Sandy Rustin This was one of the times I was surprised by the content of a children's book. Although the narrator sounded grown up, the words were quite appropriate and childlike, which made it entirely believable. Our central character is Ash McNulty, who knows no other way than to be part of the…

Sometimes, based on my mood at the time of writing the review, I tend to like the process, and at other times not. In this instance,…

The Rent Collector by Camron Wright

I did not pay attention to the author's background when I picked this book up. I somehow missed the author's note as well. If I had paid attention, I would have been quite surprised. The story is narrated from the point of view of a Cambodian woman, and the author is neither. A little further…

Nora and the Sacred Stones by Nora Hatch Rupper

This is a young adult/middle-grade book that I would have rated higher if not for the romance angle between the main two characters. It felt a little unnecessary, given the other relationships explored during the adventure. This might just be me, and the children of the age group might appreciate the ending more, but I…
