Source: I OwnI'm a little late getting to this one. I actually never knew about it until I was offered a copy of The Third Mushroom the companion book in this series. That said, I had no idea what to expect, and this isn't anything like I normally read. Still, I did end up enjoying it. It's a quick,...
Perfectly targeted to upper elementary/lower middle grade, as an adult reading it it is too easy to see all the plotholes, but also a quick read that is fun, so it is easy to ignore them. And for being so short, I got 7 good book discussion questions out of it!

I loved that the author deftly configures the fate of mankind with the frozen remains of a jel...

I absolutely love when Middle Grade stories aren't afraid to take on the big subjects. When they don't conform to gender norms and popular ideas. I love books that are willing to carve their own little niche into the reading world, and The Fourteenth Goldfish is definitely one of those. I wish this ...
