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.

America’s First Daughter by Stephanie Dray & Laura Kamoie | Book Review
March 22, 2016
America’s First Daughter by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie has all the promise of excellent reading. It is about a strong woman in history whose story I haven’t yet heard. It is set during a fascinating time period. There is a hint of romance within the jacket copy on the back of the book. By […]

The Girl From Everywhere by Heidi Heilig was not on my radar until New York Comic Con. As one of the more elderly book bloggers, I just do not follow the latest and greatest upcoming books like I used to when I was a young whippersnapper. However, as I made the trek to New York […]
