The Land of Reverse by David Manousos has a gentle tone with a soothing cadence to the words that suit perfectly for bedtime readings. The illustrations are a great accompaniment.
The story is about Sam who could not sleep one night. He let his mind wander to the Land of reverse. Everything Sam thought of in reality was backwards. Your hands are your feet, cars drive on the sidewalk, the animals in the zoo have the humans caged and feed them. Sam returns back to his bed happy and cannot wait to return to the Land of Reverse.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star by Joe Rhatigan is a wonderful and different version of the classic version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. This version involves cats. Twinkle twinkle is a star and her feline friends are trying to find a way to visit. But balloon, dogs, and even some cake can not help the cats get to twinkle. The upside we learn why cats “sing” at night. The illustrations are brights, colorful, and it's full of fun. It is an old book with a cute twist.
I give this book 4/5 stars.

Amazing First Book!!!!
What if you have the perfect life, the perfect wife and the perfect child - then, in one shattering moment, you discover nothing is as it seems? What if your whole life was based on LIES?
I received and ARC version of this book and all I can say is it's and amazing first book for this author! I literally could not put this book down (except to take care of family needs here and there) and finished it within the day. So many twists and turns that will literally leave your turning the pages to delve deeper and deeper into the storyline. Highly recommend!

Loved it! Not sure why I didn't pick it up sooner, it's absolutely wonderful! I really enjoyed the cultural details and mythology of Nigeria as well as how the author used physical abnormalities and learning disorders such as albinoism, scoliosis, and dyslexia as an indicator of strong magical abilities. I also thought the characters were well developed and relatable. My only issue was with the climax. There was such a strong buildup for an ultimately underwhelming ending. Overall, I found it to be a wonderful story that fans of Harry Potter will likely enjoy. I can't wait to read Akata Warrior to see what happens next!

I find that most second books in a series tend to struggle a bit, especially if the series has more than three books. This is mainly due to there not being a natural arc for the individual book. Thankfully this was not the case with this book. Gwynne started strong with the first book, and has just bulked up. I will admit I did get lost at some points, but that's because the number of characters can be overwhelming at times. This however is no critism as the majority have their place, and I'm sure the ones that haven't quite done so already, will do in the next two books. Being it on!

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Dundurn Press
This book was a delight! I wasn't expecting to fall in love with it as much as I did because usually, I'm not the biggest fan of literary fiction but this broke my heart. A touching story about loss, dealing with grief and also touches deeply on mental health and the importance of relationship and communication. I loved how this story unfolded and how we only ever knew Elias through the eyes of Coen adding to the mystery. The ending was not what I expected but I loved it. There is so much heart in this book and I definitely recommend it!
