Review: You Need to Chill - Juno Dawson - May 2023

As we head into Pride Month, I decided to read this cute picture book "You Need to Chill" by Juno Dawson. In this book, we meet our young female character who at school, all her friends are asking her questions about her brother Bill as they haven't seen him around lately. The main female character blows off her friends and tries to downplay the situation by telling everyone that they need to just chill. Near the end, the readers of the book learn that Bill is now a transgender female named Lily. What I loved about this picture book was that the book wasn't OTT and didn't push the agenda but showed readers that being part of the LGBTQA+ community isn't a big deal and that just because someone identifies as the rainbow community doesn't mean they are any different than you and me. You Need to Chill by Juno Dawson is the perfect picture book for children aged 3-6 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 - 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...
