MAdreads Reviews for Teens
Murder at the club
Kaveri Murthy has recently joined her doctor husband, Ramu, in Bangalore in 1921 India. And while Kaveri is happy with her new husband, she's chafing a bit under the watchful eye of her new mother-in-law and her expectations of what a "good" wife should be.
Graphic is good
We've all got them. Books we think will make us smarter but that are just a bit too daunting every time you go to pick them up and read. Mine in recent times has been Yuval Harari's Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.
Changing bodies, changing powers
This sensitive and empowering middle grade graphic novel focuses on changes associated with adolescence. Set in modern-day Montreal, Adèle is enjoying her winter break when she discovers something new about herself: she can see and hear ghosts.
Old favorite, rediscovered
I used to love to wander through a bookstore and feed my reading need (this on top of checking many stacks of books out of the library).
Shot by Cupid's arrow
Valentina Tran's favorite day of the year is Valentine's Day. She is named after the holiday and it's no wonder that her imaginary friend is Cupid. Val and Cupid are cuddly and sweet buddies when Val is younger, planning out hand decorated cards and heartfelt messages for friends and family.
