Staff Reviews
Book Review: Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
Patrick Ness makes his first foray into children’s fiction with this funny-yet-meaningful tale of Monitor Lizards settling into school.
Book Review: Monstersona
A charming, gory sapphic Young Adult book about 2 girls falling in love during a horrifying road trip which starts after a monster attack.
Book Review: The Gentlest of Wild Things
The Gentlest of Wild Things is perfect for readers of all ages and serves as a captivating introduction to mythology retellings.
Book Review: Tranquillity and Ruin
This man is a GENUIS and yet still completely relatable. If he ever starts a cult, I’ll be the first to join up.
