John David Anderson's Ms. Bixby's Last Day is, to me, one of the best examples of "voice" in middle-grade fiction. You are right there with those boys and their teacher. I'll keep his new one on my radar for sure!

I really loved The Crayon Man and the Emily Windsnap series. I read an ARC of book #8 this last year and think I only missed Emily Windsnap and the Falls of Forgotten Island. I would have never picked this series up on my own, but I found it delightful. Oh, and while I read some, I listened to others on audiobook -- the narration was great there, too! Now I'm going to have to hunt down Now You're Logging! and I'll look forward to your thoughts on Crooked Kingdom.

(a book I might be able to get my Dad to read, as he had a logging company about 20 year ago).

They are especially in need of bloggers (and others who review children's and young adult books on social media) in the categories of nonfiction, poetry, and middle grade fiction. I'd love it if you'd pass along the word, and I hope you will also apply.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-87127132662431211642019-08-26T08:18:32.199-07:002019-08-26T08:18:32.199-07:00I adore The Crayon Man!

I don't usually read anything before bed because I end up reading all night, or being unable to sleep because I need to know the ending, or am too disturbed to fall asleep. I do sudoku puzzles instead. Now You're Logging is available on Amazon. It's wonderful Elisabeth. I'm sad that you live so far away or I would loan you my copy when it arrives.

I need slow-paced stories that put me to sleep before bed!! I'm really intrigued by the logging graphic novel. I need to get my hands on that. And a new book by Julie Morstad! Crayon Man is one I really want to get my hands on. Wondering if I should just purchase because my library doesn't seem to be planning to buy it.Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-9079861821639801202019-08-26T04:46:18.630-07:002019-08-26T04:46:18.630-07:00I wish I could get into Louise Penney's books!...I wish I could get into Louise Penney's books! I may be the only person I know who feels lukewarm about them. I adore similar writers like Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie books and Tana French's every books she ever wrote. Big fan of Laura Lippman's too. Maybe I'll give Penney another read.
