Note: I survived an after hours teen and college student game program on Friday the 13th which was also a full moon….I have no additional notes this week.
How is the Disney series? Kids love those types of books for the reading workshop – is it well done?
Sorry for the late reply! The Disney manga are pretty much what you would expect. Fans of the Disney movies will enjoy them, and I imagine they would have high circulation rates at my library (got an ARC copy of this one). With that said, they are pretty much abbreviated versions of the movies that lose a bit of the magic due to the lack of color and music.
I need to go check out Heathen. And I can’t wait to get to Pie in the Sky! Congrats on surviving Friday the 13th plus the full moon. LOL Hope you have a wonderful reading week!
