Leah Marie and the Bug!

Review: Leah Marie and The Bug - Marylin Leinebach and Anne Raymond - November 2021

At the moment, the world is a scary place to be and all sorts of strange things are happening and not just in one country but every country in the world. All these things are happening due to a bug called Covid-19 or Coronavirus. In Leah Marie and the Bug, we meet Leah Marie who has down syndrome and her parents have been talking about the dangerous bug that has infected the world. Leah Marie likens the bug to a cockroach which to me is worst ha-ha. So, on every page, are pictures of cockroaches scurrying around. During this book, we learn about the things that we can no longer do and the way we have to change our everyday lives to adapt from having groceries delivered to wearing masks. Having to wash our hands and learning from home rather than seeing the teacher in the classroom. What I loved about this book is that the main character has down syndrome as someone who grew up in a family where my mum and siblings had autism and as I got older, I got heavily involved with Parent 2 Parent which helps families who have children with disabilities so that part of the book really hits close to home and just so awesome to see that it shows everyone that disabilities are people too and not something to be frowned upon. Leah Marie and the Bug is the perfect picture book for children aged 5-10 years old.

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

  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
