I thought that Just My Luck by Cammie McGovern was a young adult book for some bizarre reason. However, reading the summary will quickly dispel that notion. Just My Luck is McGovern’s middle grade debut. It is a super quick read about a kid named Benny and his family struggles.

What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler | Book Review
March 3, 2016
What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler is one hell of a young adult fiction debut.

The Trouble With Destiny by Lauren Morrill has the distinction of being my first book of 2016. No regrets with that — I had quite the pleasant time reading this book. The Trouble With Destiny is a book that has not really been hyped by my friends and perhaps I am the black sheep with this […]
