Happy book birthday @annbraden.bsky.social!
What an amazing book!
It’s very intense, and so well done. A fantastic duology.
I felt the same way! This book felt more intense, with Max in Germany and surrounded by Nazis. And yes, the similarities made me want to weep.
I’ve read many WWII books, but this one is outstandingly unique. The storytelling is superb, and its heart shines through. Brilliant, compelling, suspenseful, heartbreaking, and very VERY timely. Well done, @adamgidwitz.bsky.social
The devastation from wildfires can be hard to fathom. These books can help young people process what's happening.

📙They Hold the Line: Wildfires, Wildlands, and the Firefighters Who Brave Them
📗What to Bring
📘I Am the Storm
📕Wildfire!

Thoughts with those on the front lines fighting to save.🙏🏻
May I also suggest Simone by Viet Thanh Nguyen & Minnie Phan
It beautifully ties together a child’s evacuation from a wildfire and her mother’s escape from a flood as a child in Viet Nam.
Here’s another one from HCPL’s website, created by Erin Petrie for our TLA session last year! d4804za1f1gw.cloudfront.net/wp-content/u...

A8: If I listed all the books of my heart this year, I would be here all night! Here are a few I have not yet mentioned tonight! #TLSkyChat
Ferris by Kate DiCamillo
A Strange Thing Happened at Cherry Hall by Jasmine Warga
Across So Many Seas by @ruthbehar.bsky.social
Valor Wings by Sam Subity
A7: Along with every Dog Man and Wimpy Kid book, these were some favorite series/ books in my library! #TLSkyChat
A6: This book is full of imagination, discovery, and the love of stories. I enjoyed every minute! #TLSkyChat
The Secret Library by @keklamagoon.bsky.social
This is one of my upcoming answers! #TLSkyChat
A5. Loved @janetsumnerjohnson.bsky.social 's Fault Lines, #2 in the Winterton Deception series. A puzzle-y, family, twisty mystery set during Thanksgiving. #TLSkyChat
I probably should have saved it for Q5! #TLSkyChat
A4: Not Nothing by Gayle Forman is a huge emotional roller coaster! So beautifully written! #TLSkyChat
