V cute! Much deeper than I expected it to go- I would absolutely recommend this one for most of my middle schoolers. (TBH it would make a super cute humanities book project, as well. My gears are turning… 💜🧑🎤✨)
The Cemetery of Untold Stories by Julia Alvarez

Mixed feelings reflecting on how to rate this. Store ALC, I was immediately drawn to the art and description, and it was queued up for the shops book club programming- obviously it had it happen. It has a ridiculously cool concept, I felt committed to finishing it, and there were a lot of thoughtful layers. I wish I had enjoyed it? I feel guilty for not enjoying it. Maybe it wasn’t the right timing for me with this one. 🤖
