I liked the pictures

This was a page turner. The characters and plot were rich and well developed. I did not know that there were art forgers during World War II, so it was great to learn about something new.

Good book

If you can accept the adult language and subject matter, the life story of Danny Trejo is interesting and inspiring. I didn’t know much about him and was surprised and impressed to learn about how he fought the LA fires as an inmate, made the rounds through the California correctional system and ended up working at a rehab facility before making his Hollywood film debut. If you’re a fan, it’s a good read.

Very short National Geographic Kids book

With the new Percy Jackson tv show, my husband and I planned to reread all of the Percy Jackson books so that we could talk about them together. However, I'm a much faster reader than he is and finished all five books of the original series as well as the books in the Heroes of Olympus series before he found time to get started with his own reread. I liked this book (the fourth in the series), but I think it could use more Leo. Leo is my favorite character, so I think all of the books could use more Leo. It's sometimes a little tricky keeping track of all of the different points of view of all of the different Heroes of Olympus on their quests. It's a solid middle grade read, with lots of action despite its long length.

It was good. I also really liked the note at the end of the book about the history of braille.

Another great start to a YA love story from Claudia Gray- this one between a human on the planet Genesis and the AI “mech” from Earth who should be her enemy.

Not terrible, kind of slow read at some parts. Interesting story!

The charts were amazing. I’ve read many, many gardening books and learned so much still from this one!
