The characters and their development had much more depth than I was expecting for a middle grade novel. My son and I enjoyed reading it together.

Super cute. I liked it even more than book 1! Ponder might be my favorite non-human side character ever.

Highlights lose their value when you highlight every page, but how can you not highlight every page? This book is so thoughtful and emotional. From beginning to end, a treasure and a challenge.

Nice take on a Book 2. We get more world-building and theory. We get great new characters. There is a lot of heavy-handed lecture on laborist revolution that dragged quite a bit but Wu Zeitan is a badass throughout and we love her!

I liked the way the book was organized. A really nice collection that pays homage to the art of opinion writing. Roxane Gay is so great at writing direct and often brutal honesty with compassion and empathy. I enjoyed the section on her celebrity interviews more than I expected.

10 stars! This book is everything. It took me an entire day to read the last 20 pages because I didn’t want it to end but I also needed it to end.

Classic Robin Wall Kimmerer, condensed. It is a lovely, challenging, beautiful and motivational quick read. I’m actively looking for ways to cultivate gift economy now; I hope I never get distracted.

Very cute

Beautiful artwork, great mini bios, and timely social critique and education on issues impacting Indigenous communities in the US, Alaska, and Hawaii.

I love Haynes’ work. It is incredibly readable, she’s one of the best author audiobooks readers around, and the humor is so charmingly British.
