Happy holidays, everyone! Today I'll be reviewing the Heartstopper graphic novel series by Alice Oseman. This is a YA series, so some mature topics will be discussed during this episode. I really love the Heartstopper series, and I asked for the Heartstopper Yearbook for Christmas, so I really hope I'm able to read that one soon. The Heartstopper series follows Charlie and Nick, two boys who are completely different but somehow make a connection. They go from classmates to best friends to boyfriends. This is such a warm and cozy series, although there are some more difficult topics discussed in the later books. The second book in this series is probably my favorite graphic novel ever, so I highly suggest reading the Heartstopper books. Happy holidays and enjoy!

So many kids waste food at lunch. Lots of people buy new clothes that they never wear. Parents leave their cars running in the parking lot all the time. The worst part of all, though, is that the mayor won't listen to anyone about climate change! He seems to think the city is fine the way it is. But Mary Kate Murphy and her friends are determined to change that. Email me at theseriesreview13@gmail.com. Enjoy!  Send me a voice message at anchor.fm/riya-b13/message Thank you for listening to

Hey! Today I'm reviewing The Losers Club by Andrew Clements. This is one of my favorite books written by him and it's a perfect school story. Alec is a reader. He's always been a reader. The funny thing is, while most teachers love it when people read, Alec's teachers send him to the principal's office because he reads too much.

Hello everyone! Today I'm reviewing Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga, and let me tell you, this is an amazing book! We recently had a unit in social studies where we learned about different religions in the Middle East, and I was instantly reminded of the book Other Words for Home. It's about a young Syrian refugee named Jude, who moves to America with her pregnant mother. She has to leave her father and her brother behind and move in with her aunt, uncle, and not-so-friendly cousin. No one in America seems to understand her, except for the kids in her ESL class and the owners of the Middle Eastern restaurant in town. Jude has to constantly explain to people that wearing a hijab is a choice and that she didn't enter the US illegally. Everything is so difficult for Jude, especially after a super racist action that has her thinking that no one wants her in the US. While in a not-so-welcoming community, can Jude find herself without all the friends she left behind? Email me at theseriesreview13@gmail.com.
