“The Witch’s Boy,” by Michael Gruber, is for you if you like a nice dose of fantasy and fairytale that dips into darkness while exploring very human relationship and psychological issues. Much of the protagonist’s life takes place while he is a child, but this is not a story for children, though it will appeal to young adults, as well as adults, who appreciate a non-formulaic approach to a story of magic and growing up. The novel is pleasantly unique and intriguing, though the reader has to work a bit to extract the insight that Gruber provides through telling Lump’s tale.

Thoughts on Books: "Suicide Notes," a novel by MTF, makes sense for ages 14-18-year-old young adults who are mature enough to handle the topics of depression, suicide, and sex. It is particularly appropriate for those questioning their identity, sexually or otherwise. It was challenging to relate to the main character in the first few pages/chapters, but once underway, his story was of interest. It didn't captivate a fantasy/dystopian addict such as I, but would be a positive addition to a collection for young adults who enjoy straightforward young-adult drama, as many young adults do.

Students enthralled (at least listening for the most part, lol) to my chat on brainstorming and drafting their novellas at my alma mater, Menasha HS. It was great to see my old pals Karma, Estrella, and Kanista. I look forward to reading several of the novellas when they are through!

Thoughts on books: “The Wednesday Wars” is a bittersweet story about a middle grade kid who faces middle grade kid issues with a bit of absurdity, a bit of angst, and a bit of heroism, all while the Vietnam war touches his friends, family, school, and community. After the first few pages, I thought I had gone too young with this book, but I was very soon attached to the character and Gary Schmidt’s gentle while insightful storytelling. It is sometimes sad and often humorous and always relatable. I strongly recommend the WWs for young readers.
