Yes! I was relieved to have a name for it, too! That's exactly how it feels.

Her Little Flowers is a gothic gem - perfect if you love stories where place and mood carry as much weight as the plot. I can’t wait to read more of her work.

Morgan’s writing builds an atmosphere that wraps around you and lingers long after you finish. The house doesn’t just set the scene; it feels like a main character with its own moods and memories.

At the bridge of his ship
He cries, “Off we go!”
To his crayon-drawn crew
As the current takes hold.

The lined paper sails
Catch the wind and then
He ventures to hideaway
Far away lands.

If you have access to the curriculum, you could check the expectations for the grades. Meeting the expectations can also help the teacher :)

Wow! I loved those books, likely back in the mid 80s? I can still visualize the covers. And Sweet Valley High? Same decade.

I usually have an e-book on the go, a physical book AND an audiobook. Is that weird, lol? I can’t be the only one who reads multiple books at a time? For my next audiobook, I have to choose between The Rose Code, Where the Crawdads Sing, and A Rip through Time (all already purchased).

I just borrowed “Howl’s Moving Castle” by Diana Wynne Jones. I’ve heard it’s a good one. 🏰

#kidlitchat I’ve been teaching, mostly special education. I’ve been raising my three boys, one is 19 and twins that are almost 14. My eldest has seizures (Dravet Syndrome) and a profound intellectual disability. In the years caring for him, I lost myself. Finally trying to discover who I am again.

I just joined SCBWI this month. I’m looking forward to getting to know this community! Still working out how this BlueSky works. #kidlitchat

I’ve dabbled in so many hobbies, from pottery to calligraphy. But, the fun I had this week was simply beating the Hogwarts Legacy game on PS5. One goal accomplished on my summer holidays, lol.
