#juniorfiction — Public Fediverse posts

The book that I started last night is a tough YA read dealing with child abuse so I thought I would pick up the 3rd book in The Haunted Library series just to add some lightness. This junior fiction series is a lot of fun! Ghosts, kid detectives (and a ghost detective), a LIBRARY (I do have a love for libraries), and a grandma librarian with a pink stripe in her hair! Perfect for ages 6-10.
