In this book a little girl named Karen Brewer lives next door to a lady named Mrs.Porter. Mrs. Porter wears long robes and has crazy gray hair. She even has a black cat as well. Karen is not allowed to spy on the neighbors but she does on Mrs. Porter. This is because she believes that Mrs. Porter is a witch. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

Historic yet very fast, excellent read.

My first time reading a book from this author. I found this book full of twist, mystery and tension. I enjoyed reding it and would definitely read more from him in the future.

A lovely addition to a lovely series, You’ll meet new characters to love, and cherish the old ones. You’ll hate the new villains and the old, and love their drama and jokes too. Sarcastic, funny, adventurous, and serious, all the things you could ever want in an adventurous story of gods,monsters, and determined mortals.

I wish I'd read this in my puberty years!! Raina!!! Where were you then? With two brothers and a mom who worked and attended community college, my deep shyness and fear of asking questions as well as sharing my personal concerns isolated me in my family and with my "peers" at school or elsewhere. Ughhhh. Yuk! So glad young pre-pubescent tweens, et al have validating and confidence-giving reading like this one! Ughhhhh....even hiding "used stuff" in the kitchen garbage "indiscreetly" was nerve wracking! (so my brothers wouldn't get "the secret" I was hiding!) And the products we had in the 1970's! So weird! (And my mom was overjoyed for me - "now you can have a baby!" Really? I don't want one now! What would I do with one as a tweenager?)

A lighthearted, easy read about an Asian woman who tries to solve a mystery. She suspects everyone around her while also coming to love all these people. Cute and funny and a mystery too!

In this book it's Karen's birthday. She is so excited to open all of her presents. She even gets two parties, one at her Dad's house and one at her Mom's house. Though the only thing that Karen really wanted for her birthday was to have one big party. One with her whole family and not two desperate parties.

this has to be one of the best books i've ever read. sapphism plus true crime? of course I'm going to love it. The "a good girls guide to murder" vibes kept me hooked the entire time. and I absolutely loved lea and iris's relationship. they were amazing !! also, the scene were iris got shot by Mr. cooper and the detective and everyone else came was just so emotional and perfect. 100% would recommend this book and I would love to reread it again for the first time. there weren't any plot holes and the plot twist was unpredictable. absolutely adored this book. <333

Hunter Adams' "The City Grew Monsters" puts a cool spin on zombie stories, following little Maddy as she deals with the undead chaos in a San Diego skyscraper. It's a real nail-biter that'll keep you hooked, but it's also got some serious feels, making you wonder if the zombies are really the worst thing out there.

I loved loved loved this book from the very beginning. Sophie and her crew were the best as always and I am kinda starting to hate Fitz. Keefe still remains the best character.
