Thanks, Timothy!!!
I am reading Valley of the Rats by @mahtabnarsimhan.bsky.social and I'm really digging it! It's mysterious, creepy (CW: there's a LOT of rats!), and about the right amount of scary for upper middle-grade. Wonderful read to kick off spooky season. 👍📚 #kidlit 📚👍
Recommend a piece of art (any medium) that's not yours that you've recently enjoyed or re-enjoyed. Just something you think might help someone else, cheer 'em up, escapism, w.e.
Just wondering. :)

"Great, action-packed light horror/spooky paranormal fantasy for boys and girls at middle elementary and up, with crossover potential to YA. Definitely going to be adding this to my reading list for upper elementary and middle school workshops. Can't wait for more!" ~GR Review.
