Written by a Librarian I was interested in reading this book. I am still processing how much I liked it. It deals with a young girl dealing with an illness that keeps her travelling to keep from dying. Interesting

This enchanting fantasy novel invites readers into a world where a young boy discovers a mysterious orphanage filled with children possessing peculiar abilities. As he unravels the secrets of their existence and confronts hidden dangers, the story explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle against societal norms, all enhanced by haunting vintage photographs that add a unique visual element to the narrative. The blend of adventure, mystery, and emotional depth makes it a compelling read for both young adults and older audiences alike.

why did this book make me tear up at the end???? so embarrassing

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was the third part. I would recommend this interesting book!

Raina Telgemeier took me back to the misery of Junior High and new braces! and this graphic novel/ memoir works just as well with women my age as with middle schoolers/junior high school students past in their middle aged years who might find, as I did, that all those feelings I remembered having at that time in my Life were shared! Raina's graphic novels for self-information even now as that middle aged woman - whose own daughter experienced a different middle grade years Life and still amazes me - my daughter in her 20's is legions beyond me even now!

I've always wanted to read this book and now that I have, I have to say I wish I'd read it sooner. Stargirl is an unusual character but I really appreciated how she managed to bring the entire school together and make life a little bit better if only it was for a little while. I also related to Leo about his debate between Stargirl or being liked by the other students. Overall, this was a really touching novel and I will definitely read Love, Stargirl to know more about her character.

This was my first Monaghan book. I really enjoyed her writing style. I felt that the then and now aspects of the book complemented each other seamlessly. I do wish there was a "future" or little epilogue that gave readers a glimpse into what could have happened.

Cecily Wong's "Kaleidoscope" is a poignant and introspective exploration of grief, friendship, and self-discovery, told through the lens of a young woman grappling with the sudden loss of her best friend. Through lyrical prose and a non-linear narrative that mimics the fractured nature of memory, Wong crafts a moving portrait of the ways in which loss can reshape our understanding of ourselves and those we love.

This is an awesome series! Her books are very humorous and insightful. This one is about a girl who was friendly with her brother's best friend and how that friendship and trust was broken in one night. Now, they are both in college and on the football team together. Yes, you read that right. The young woman is a kicker for the team. It's a really good book!!

Excellent book.
