Sheeta's Little Big World was weird...

Image
Sheeta's Little Big World is manga trilogy by Yuki Kamba . It seems to take inspiration from the Studio Ghibli movie The Secret World of Arrietty , with elements of survival stories. Sheeta lives with other littlefolk in a small village in the woods somewhere after he was abandoned by his father. He becomes close friends with another boy named Nala. One day, the two boys see smoke coming from a giant tree from afar, and Nala runs away to see what it is. Sheeta then has a mission to find Nala and find his father, too. Sheeta relunctantly teams up with another littlefolk named Izuna, who holds a grudge against Sheeta's father for something he did to him in his past. As they travel, they learn to survive of the land, and encounter other littlefolk with problems they help to solve. It doesn't sound too bad, doesn't it? That's what I thought at first. The first book had a solid beginning. Book 2 still wasn;t too bad--I just didn't like how a large chunk of it was sp...

  And guess who loved book 1 (as in gave it 5 stars ) and will continue reading the series?! Funny story: my first exposure to Percy Jackson was actually the 2010 film based off of this first book that I watched back in middle school. Since I didn't read the books back then, I thought the movie was okay, but my friends who have read the books all said the movie was a terrible adaptation of the first book. Now that I finally read the original Lightning Thief , I 100% agree with my friends and all longtime Percy Jackson fans. (I haven't watched the more recent Disney+ series because I don't have a subscription, so I can't make comparisons to the show, either.) I don't think I need to explain the plot because I think most of us know what the story is already about. What stood out to me was how surprisingly dark the story can get at times while still being family-friendly (think Avatar the Last Airbender). But I think those are the best kinds of kids' books. I like ...

I tagged some people over on Instagram, but as usual, anyone is free to do this tag, too. 1.  Green Tea: Your favorite green book. Here's a recent favorite: The Gate, Girl, and Dragon by Grace Lin. 2. Earl Grey: A book that will never get old. Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix 3. Chai: A spicy romance. I don't read a lot of spicy romance, but all 3 of Emily Henry's books that I like so far (People We Meet on Vacation. Book Lovers, and Funny Story) do have some spice in them.  4. Chamomile: A relaxing read The Story Girl  duology  (The Story Girl and its sequel, The Golden Road) by LM Montgomery is pretty relaxing! 5.
