Review: Beat the Clock

Beat the Clock Beat the Clock by Herman Parish
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This set of books takes Amelia Bedelia back to when she was in elementary school and she has friends. In particular Joy stood out to me because it seemed Joy understood that sometimes Amelia is too literal and instead of laughing she would explain it again in a different way so Amelia understood. I love this empathetic approach to helping someone who doesn't understand.

Review: Leave Me

Leave Me Leave Me by Gayle Forman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I feel like the timing was not portrayed well. I wasn't sure how much time had passed overall in Pittsburgh.

Review: Dark Sky Rising: Reconstruction and the Dawn of Jim Crow

Dark Sky Rising: Reconstruction and the Dawn of Jim Crow Dark Sky Rising: Reconstruction and the Dawn of Jim Crow by Henry Louis Gates Jr.
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I want to give this a 3 for format/presentation and a 4 for content. The transitions were sometimes jarring which took me out of the reading.
