Kids:

-“I have a dog…” not a question, but still.
-What kind of Dog is Thorn?
-Is Thorn part wolf?
-Is THORN going to have his own book?

If there’s an author you appreciate, one of the simplest, most helpful, least expensive things you can do for them is ask your public library to add that author’s newest book to their collection.
Many library websites have a form for that. So give it a try, and make an author’s day!

In reading Spark by @baronchrisbaron.bsky.social , I wanted to highlight sentences/entire passages. In this novel in verse as Finn narrates, we are taken into an intense and moving journey of teens navigating the results of wildfires. Who and what survives? Outstanding title/begs to be read aloud
