One Piece Heroines 2

Image
The One Piece anime is back! But I am still in the Wano arc as of writing this.  Anyway, I finally read One Piece: Heroines Volume 2 ! Just like the first one, this follows a bunch of short stories about different girls from the One Piece universe. The girls this time are: Boa Hancock, Tashigi, Reiju, and Uta. We also get a bonus chapter of Nami and Robin! My favorite story is Uta's story--it was really sweet! My second favorite was Reiju's because it made me emotional. Tashigi's story is cool, too, and so is Nami and Robin's. I didn't really like Hancock's story--it was a little odd. So I gave the book 4.5 stars . But if you're a One Piece fan like me, you'll probably like this too! I heard that the Heroine's novels are getting an adaptation soon, coming out this July.

Linus and Etta Could Use a Win Review

Image
    Underrated middle grade contemporary fiction! Linus and Etta Could Use a Win by Caroline Huntoon is a dual POV book about two 13 year olds named Linus and Etta. Linus is a trans boy who just moved houses and starts going to a new school. Etta is an girl with an "alternative" fashion style who is rather cynical about everything, but especially middle school. Shortly after the two of them meet and befriend each other, student council elections are their school start up. Etta finds herself making a secret bet with her former best friend, Marigold, to get Linus to be student council president (they are mostly competing just to get into the same prestigious private high school). Etta really likes Linus and wants to be best friends with him, but she is worried that her ulterior motives as his campaign manager will ruin everything between them. She also genuinely thinks Linus could make the school a more inclusive, safe place. The whole secret bet is also a problem because Linu...

Witchlings (Book 1) Review

Image
The last book I read for Middle Grade March! The first book of the Witchlings series by Claribel Ortega follows Seven: a girl who gets placed in the "Spare" coven of her town. Being a Spare witch is practically considered a curse since they don't have full powers and are looked down upon by everyone. But Seven tries to break out of this situation to become a full-fledged witch by requesting to do an impossible task: hunting down the Nightbeast! It's been so long since someone invoked an impossible task, and anyone who fails to complete it gets turned into a toad. Seven, her new friend Thorn, and her bully-turned-friend Valley waste no time researching the Nightbeast and finding how to capture it. But at the same time, the Nightbeast and its minions called cucos have been attacking citizens in their town and nearby towns. The attacks always seem to happen whenever the towns (or at least Seven's town) try to vote on giving more rights to Spares. Someone Seven tho...
