Sequins, Secrets and Silver Linings, by Sophia Bennett

Sequins, Secrets, and Silver Linings (Threads)
Fantastic YA. This was so much fun to read, but had a lot of depth, too. Fashion-mad Nonie becomes involved in the life of a wildly talented 12 year old designer and Ugandan refugee Crow. This hit an amazing balance between serious issues and frothy fantasy, with strong characters and a solid plot, and was a joy to read.

The Uncommon Reader, by Alan Bennett



This was short, but not sweet. At least not saccharine- it was, in many ways, hopeful. Also strange, and kind of wonderful.
