Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg - Young Readers' Edition, the new adaptation of the best-selling biography for adult readers!



Ruth Bader Ginsburg made her name as a women's rights pioneer long before the world wide web, but nearly 50 years into her career, an unusual thing happened: a Tumblr page celebrating her as Notorious RBG went viral and the octogenarian emerged as a feminist cultural icon for women of all ages. The Tumblr page became the basis of a best-selling biography, which has now been adapted into a young readers' edition.

This entertaining and insightful young readers’ edition mixes pop culture, humor, and expert analysis for a remarkable account of the indomitable Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Filled with photos – both of Ginsburg and examples of her pop culture influence – and featurettes on topics such as "The Jabot" and "How to Be Like RBG", this lighthearted yet informative book offers an excellent introduction for tweens and young teens, from ages 8 to 13, to the indomitable, heroic, and trailblazing RBG!

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
