I consider myself fairly media savvy, but it gave me a couple new tools to look at how I process information. This should be part of every 7th grader’s curriculum.

A sweet and easy read. While many of the tropes are common, every once in a while the story pulls a surprise.

An adorable novella where Jamie gets an opportunity to shine. For most of Us Jamie was working through depression and health issues. Here he gets to be more proactive, which I love for both him and Wes.
