Stacey's Extraordinary Words Stacey is a young girl who loves everything about words. She spends some of her happiest times exploring the meanings and spellings of unique words. When Stacey's teacher nominates her for the spelling bee, she puts her heart into practicing for the big day. The outcome of the spelling bee teaches Stacey more than how to spell tricky words, things like standing up for her beliefs and perseverance. Based on the author's early experiences, Stacey's Extraordinary Words is sure to be a favorite. |

The guards and staff abandon a juvenile detention center as a pandemic strikes, leaving the teens to survive as best they can. These are great characters. [I have read some negative comments in other reviews about the author "touching all the bases" with non-binary, special needs, etc, but I think the writers of those comments may not really understand the demographics found in juvenile detention centers.] Each of the characters is clearly flawed, often in multiple ways, but they are also clearly human in the most positive sense of the word. I think this would make a really great YA read, but the "Content Warning" at the beginning of the book should not be ignored. |
