Just finished Blueboarder kabarson's 45 POUNDS (MORE OR LESS), a funny but thought-provoking YA about body image and family. Congrats, Kelly! (She's in my critique group.)
I appreciated the laughs because I needed a break from Joe Hill's horror novel, NOS4A2. Well written, but so dark, I'm not sure I'll finish it.
updog, THE LIGHTNING THIEF is a lot of fun. And my husband, who rarely reads MG besides my own manuscripts, loved the movie!
