Book here ● Review ● #gamerville This is an auto-buy graphic novel author for me. There is always a great balance between drama, serious themes, and positive resolutions. Great values and life lessons. In this volume, we have two main cores and several subthemes. First: the life of gamers who focus on online lifestyle vs. outdoor activities. The author shows more similarities than differences, and I appreciate that, I love both: games and the outdoors in a balanced way, and I

🅱️ook Tour Stop + Review My review: Book 1 is Now on paperback and it's an amazing start for this series. A Summer Camp as you can't imagine. Safe for new friendships, but with a lot of paranormal activity. It's not a summer camp to lose weight. Lots of action, tension, and humor. Themes such as acceptance, self-confidence, fun, uplifting read, solving things on their own, and making new friends among those who share interests and experiences. Excited to start this series? H

My review 5 Stars This is an auto-read/buy author for me. I love the creativity of mixing always unique situations with down-to-earth human emotions, life events, and environmental themes and also always showing us great character growth. Michael speaks to a strange boy who claims to be from the future. Although he is concerned with the knowledge that this future boy may possess, he slowly starts to understand that the present is more relevant and that he must act now whether

My review 4.5 stars I enjoyed this book a lot, love it when characters are animals, and in this case, a boy gets turned into a rat. The story is fast and fun, with a very satisfying and sweet ending. Edweena Gup wants nothing else than to spread awareness against rats and have the pests gone from her island (the island has been clear of Rats for a long time and she wants to keep it that way) until... everything changes when she realizes not all is as it seems and instead of f
