Mrs Thatcher was a barely-there character, but I recognized her as the sterner parent right away. I was-glad he could find humor in a ruined dinner party, I guess, and I definitely wondered how he approached the business deal afterward. Dr Thatcher was an interesting stereotype of the goofy dad. ![]() Jeremy seemed-not like a thirteen-year-old. It's a good story all around I just wanted it to be longer and go into more depth.

I even tried to find a magic shop in the suburbs and thought if I wished hard enough, I'd find it. I wanted a dragon really really badly especially after reading this originally. I cannot emphasize how much the ending made cry every time. I read this book a bunch when I was in fifth grade. While this indicates a 2019 read date, I have since read it every year. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Clementine by Sara Pennypacker![]() She saddles her kittens with monikers straight out of the medicine cabinet (Mascara, for example).

A volcanic eruption is quite another, for, as the journalist who does a framing voice-over narration for Brooks’ latest puts it, when Mount Rainier popped its cork, “it was the psychological aspect, the hyperbole-fueled hysteria that had ended up killing the most people.” Maybe, but the sasquatches whom the volcano displaced contributed to the statistics, too, if only out of self-defense. ![]() Are we not men?
