Carmella reviews Love Frankie by Jacqueline Wilson
Jacqueline Wilson was one of my favourite authors growing up. Something about her battalions of weird, bookish, tomboy protagonists and their intense friendships with other girls really appealed to me.

Sheila Laroque reviews The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus
I couldn’t believe that this novel, The Stars and the Blackness Between Them, was a debut work!

Audrey reviews Ash by Malinda Lo
Oh, wow! I’ve finally gotten to my first Malinda Lo book. It will not be the last. Ash is a retelling of Cinderella. It’s twisty, it has a fair amount of the fair folk, and it has some great love interests. It’s also one of those books I knew would already have been reviewed aRead More
