Leo loves the Stanley books. They're ok---show teamwork, fun illustrations, relatable material.

This is a book that 1) Uses just the right number of words to say what it needs to, 2) Can tell a beautiful story set in the harshness of a poor community in Ireland, and 3) Can beautifully contrast the very best and very worst of human behavior. In short, this is an amazing book, and I will be reading more by this author.

Excellent book and this book is really three stories in one. As with all the “#1 Ladies Detective Agency” books, the setting is Botswana and the title story centers around finding a beauty contestant who is morally sound. Also, we see Mr. J.L. B. Matekoni struggle with a personal challenge, and Mma Makutsi does outstandingly well in a new role. To read these books and know these characters is to love them and Botswana.

Lots of giggles!

This coming of age story has strong themes including growing up and fitting into your own skin, along with integrity and friendship withstanding difficulties. It is a great book for anyone looking for a good read with a fantastic storyline, different points-of-views, and overall emotional resonance.

Loved the book from start

Nice little book illustrating and explaining different ways to make and maintain friendships. Started some good conversations with my almost 5 year old

You with the Sad Eyes by Christina Applegate is a raw, emotional, and deeply vulnerable memoir. I have always loved Christina as an actress, but this book made me appreciate her even more as a person. She shares her story with honesty, humor, and courage, opening up about painful parts of her life, fame, illness, and survival in a way that feels incredibly human. What I loved most was her vulnerability. She does not try to make her life sound perfect or polished, and that honesty makes the book powerful. It is heartbreaking at times, but also moving and inspiring because you see her strength beneath the sadness. A beautiful, brave memoir from someone I already admired.

set on a beach. Young woman is abused by her husband. She runs away faking her death. She ends up on this magical island. She often goes to the beach . Meeting new friends , starting a business and finding love.

This book is AWESOME. I would strongly recommend this to a young reader in search of a challenge.
