Up All Night by David Levithan, Patricia McCormick, Sarah Weeks, Libba Bray, Gene Luen Yang, Ariel Pollak, Peter Abrahams, Laura Geringer Bass
4.0
Phase 2 by Peter Abrahams 4 Stars
This was such a sad and sweet tale of a father lost in combat.
Not Just for Breakfast Anymore by Libba Bray 2.5 stars
I’m usually a fan of Libba Bray, but there were some problematic racist jokes and while the story was enjoyable, there were lots of references I doubt the target audience (teens) would get. The story is set during the 80s and even I couldn’t pick up on all the references.
The Vulnerable Hours by David Levithan 5 Stars
Magical story of opening up and speaking your truth from Levithan.
Orange Alert by Patricia McCormick 5 Stars
Gotta love a strong female protagonist that sticks it to a misogynistic pedophile.
Superman is Dead by Sarah Weeks 4 Stars
Excellent story within a story, but why did poor Superman have to die? Trigger Warning - dead pets
The Motherless One by Gene Luen Yang 3 stars
I’m sure there was supposed to be some deeper meaning but it didn’t really resonate with me.
