A great read for young adults!!
While this may drag in some places for adults, this is a great book for young adults. It’s very popular in our high school library. The students love following a modern day twist to the original Wizard of Oz. So popular we have a hard time keeping it on the shelf.

I remember being completely enthralled by this novel when I was in middle school. I read it in 1998, when it was first published in the USA, and I thought I was the coolest kid in school for being the first one to check it out of the school library. The first chapter had me hooked on the series.

Reliable and easy to use
I prefer Libby to the original overdrive app for reading and listening to my library books. Passages can now be highlighted in the ebooks on Libby. Audio is easy to navigate and bookmark. Browsing for books and audios are easy.

One downside is that the books/audios download automatically, I’d rather choose.

Firstly, that continuous shot at Dunkirk beach is fantastic. I love everything Keira Knightly is in, and her and James McAvoy are perfect together (that library scene...). The acting is brilliant, and the story is so good on film (book-not so much).
This film always makes me cry, it softens my little stone, black heart.

LOVED this story. Listened to the audio book version read by Dan Stevens (Yes, THE Dan Stevens). And he did FABULOUS. Great story....Great mystery...can't wait to read more from Agatha Christie.

I borrowed the audio book from my local library. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Wow!!! Stumbled across this book in my local library and couldn't put it down. I read it within the first night and what a book. One of my favourite plotlines within the book was the fact you can't believe everything you see on social media. Completely drawn in from the first page and honestly, that ending was shocking.
