Little books - Good reads

I’ve finished three more prompts for the 52 books challenge by choosing short books. Two of them are children’s books but I enjoyed them all.

Genre chosen for you by someone else: My 8 yr old granddaughter has zipped through this whole series and says they are really good! I thought it had good characters and the story worked for both children and adults.

Before She Was Harriet - Read Aloud

Author has won an Edgar award: I've never made it through one of his doorstop books but was intrigued by this different one.

All profits and royalties went to the reconstruction fund.
