Mice of the Round Table ★★★★★
I have been waiting to get my hands on a copy of this book ever since I heard about it from the author herself. I’m so happy that it’s finally out and that I can review it.
Serafina and the Black Cloak ★★★★☆
Serafina’s father always told her to never go into the deep parts of the forest, “for there are many dangers there, and they will ensnare your soul.” She never had a reason to disobey her father’s wishes for her to remain on the grounds of the Biltmore estate, exploring its many rooms, taking care to never, ever be seen by anyone (especially since the Vanderbilt’s don’t know she exists or that she and her pa have been living in their basement).
When children start to go missing, however, Serafina hunts down the culprit. Even though it means disobeying her father and going into the woods.

Eight months after his father was lost at sea, Pete’s mother still cries, his grandfather is suffering from Alzheimer’s, and his twin brother hates him. In fact, Henry blames Pete for everything.

When Henry and Pete take the bottle to their grandfather they are transported back in time and land on the very ship that’s going down in the bottle. The boys must learn to work together in order to battle pirates and the raging sea. If they don’t, they may not have a home to return to.
Unicorn on a Roll ★★★★★
I had the absolute pleasure of reading this adorable middle grade graphic novel by Dana Simpson. Unicorn on a Roll is the modern Calvin and Hobbes, with girls and unicorns.
Aside from being hilarious and featuring amazing comic style art, this book draws on some great adult nostalgia (and I’m not just referring to Calvin and Hobbes)
