They have to be from a variety of genres, but one of them has to be a classic. For this year, we decided on The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster,Continue reading “The Phantom Tollbooth Book Review”

The Water Dancer Book Review
Warning: This book review contains references to sexual assault. Within the last two years, there’s been a call to reexamine how the United States views its racist past, slavery in particular.
