Green Is a Chile Pepper: A Book of Colors by Roseanne Greenfield Thong
5.0
Loved everything about this book--the art style, the text features that teach Spanish, the emphasis on Mexican holidays. It would be a wonderful edition to a library, and an excellent resource to promote multiculturalism.
Freeks by Amanda Hocking
4.0
A very fun read that didn't delve too deeply into the problematic side of carnival sideshows, "Freeks" works with what it has. The relationship between Gabe and Mara is a little eye roll inducing, but that's a symptom of YA as a whole. There were great elements, and the cast of characters were fascinating, and it's definitely a book I don't regret having on my shelf.
North by Seamus Heaney
4.0
It was stark, raw, and very much Heaney. I wish I had stronger knowledge of Irish history, and could see how this would make an excellent class text. The poems that specifically referenced Greek-Roman myth were incredible, so I can only assume the other poems were filled with equally crafted ideas.
Interstellar Cinderella by Deborah Underwood
5.0
A magical retelling of the classic tale which is flattering to both male and female young readers!
The Bye Bye Man: And Other Strange-But-True Tales by Robert Damon Schneck
4.0
Decent stories, and a historical look at how we view and understand myth.
Betrayal: The Betrayal; The Secret; The Burning by R.L. Stine
4.0
An engaging quick read that uses time jump effectively. A mildly spooky history to back up the classic series.
