I loved The Vanishing Staircase by Maureen Johnson so much! It had a typical Maureen Johnson cliffhanger which I don’t love but I’m beginning to question that stance. Not much time has passed between the two books. Stevie ends up back at Ellingham Academy but she made a deal with the devil to get there. She is assigned to work with Dr. Fenton, a woman […]
Rayne & Delilah’s Midnite Matinee by Jeff Zentner *Stephanie’s Review*
I read Rayne & Delilah’s Midnite Matinee by Jeff Zentner because Zentner is an auto-read author for me. I read The Serpent King because it had come in my first ever Owlcrate box.

Susan is Kristy’s charge through this book and Susan is autistic. Kristy makes some pretty harsh judgements about how Susan’s […]

Mallory makes a reader of Buddy Barrett and together they solve the mystery of the diary. Loved this book! I also really liked how Mallory worked with Buddy to make him a reader. I know that feeling and it is a great […]
