ClareR (6067 KP) rated River Sing Me Home in Books
Jan 19, 2023
River Sing Me Home was such a moving read on The Pigeonhole.
Set across Barbados, British Guiana and Trinidad in 1834, Rachel is driven to go and find her sold children when slavery is abolished. You would think that she would be free to do so, but when slavery was abolished, slave owners operated an apprentice scheme - which was simply the same terms and conditions as slavery. So Rachel has to be very careful and remain under the radar of slave catchers.
Rachel’s determination to find her children and her joy when she does find them, the brutality and inhumanity of the slave trade, Rachel’s experiences of love and loss, all add up to a really emotional reading experience.
Recommended.

This story is complicated. It deals with many moral issues. Families, marriage, strength and weakness. This is a great story coming out just in time for you to toss in your tote bag or beach bag. Just do it!

Another good technological based short from Bradbury. This is about the powers of technology and spoilt children.
I loved how even though the parents so desperately wanted to turn off their house, they couldn't quite resist it enough to do it, ending in a not so nice surprise.
Even with its predictable ending, this one gives you the shivers.

Awesome characters
Plot thickens through each book
Love this series!
I love these books. They can be found in the children’s section of book stores but from the second book onwards they contain explicit scenes of a sexual nature and shouldn’t be read by children. Feyre is tough and a perfect main character
Sara Cox (1845 KP) rated Like a Girl: Astronaut in Books
Mar 15, 2020
I thought this book was really nice. The language was simple for children to understand and it had loads of really good images. I think that this series is meant to be encouraging girls to be whatever they want - which is great! - but it was unclear that the astronaut was female and this might deter girls a bit....maybe.

The Fox & Little Tanuki is a new manga. Volume 1 is cute, and has very cute illustrations. The cover makes it look like it's maybe for younger children, but the story is a little deeper. Overall, I'm expecting that it will be a cute manga with some violent animal interactions, and some emotionally cruel characters at times.
