When a Monster is Born

By curlyq
When a Monster is Born
By Sean Taylor; illustrated by Nick Sharratt
Roaring Brook Press, 2007. Unpaged. Picture book.

This book goes through all the potential things a monster can be and do. If it's an under-the-bed monster, for example, it can either eat you or you can take it to school. It really just depends on your particular luck and situation, but let's hope the school option is the one that wins out! If that is the case, there are many avenues from that point, many of them ending in the monster eating you or someone you know. That's really just the monster way. However, if the monster can refrain from eating people, there are suddenly so many more possibilities. Read this book to discover a monster's true potential!

Even though this is an older book, it's absolutely hilarious and definitely one you should be sure to read! Adults and children will both find this a complete riot. Bright, funny illustrations add to the story. Altogether, this is one you just can't miss!

Review: The Factory

By
The Factory By Catherine Egan New York, NY : Scholastic Inc., 2025. Fiction. 306 pages.  Thirteen-year-old Asher Doyle has been invited to join the Factory, a secretive research facility in the desert which ostensibly extracts renewable energy from the electromagnetic fields of its young recruits. But Asher soon realizes something sinister is going on. Kids are getting sick. The adults who run the Factory seem to be keeping secrets. And the extraction process is not only painful and exhausting, but existentially troubling. Asher makes a handful of new friends who help him with an investigation that turns into a resistance, which turns into...a cliffhanger!

Egan weaves in detail about climate crises and social unrest, making the story's dystopian setting feel rich and plausible. With its sophisticated themes and accessible storytelling, I would recomm...
