A recommended addition to collections, and a great read for fans of Roshani Chokshi, Evelyn Skye, and Sandhya Menon’s Three Kisses, One Midnight or Jessica Spotswood’s The Last Summer of the Garrett Girls.
This debut novel is very character driven and will make a great addition for collections that need realistic fiction with strong worldbuilding and character development.
A solid purchase for all libraries that serve middle grade readers. It deftly handles the sensitive topic of being a young trauma survivor; warning for school shooting content.
This excellent collection reissues I Am Invited to a Party!, I Will Surprise My Friend!, Happy Pig Day!,Waiting Is Not Easy!, and The Thank You Book—hundreds of pages of fun with Piggie and Gerald.
Recommended for a mildly macabre Halloween-themed read for younger teens who enjoy Marissa Meyer and Jane Yolen, and a good addition where fractured fairy tales and gothic horror are popular.
Fans of Strohm’s previous novels (Love a La Mode, Prince in Disguise) and graphic novels such as Alice Oseman’s “Heartstopper” series will enjoy this title. A sound choice for any library with a strong graphic novel readership.
