Wonder by RJ Palacio
This one makes me sad …like majorly, epically, soul-crushingly sad. And not in the way you might think. After all, it’s the story of a boy who has major facial deformities, how his family tries to protect him, and how mean … Continue reading
Princess of the Midnight Ball – Jessica Day George
Wellllllll, this one was a fail for me. I mean, fairy tale retellings, yay I love those! But this was a fairy tale that I’m not very familiar with – The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And then there was the problem … Continue reading
Wither – Lauren DeStefano

The Scorpio Races – Maggie Stiefvater
