This is my second time reading Healer of the Water Monster by Brian Young. I love this book tremendously. The characters feel so real to me, and they are navigating life experiences that feel very relatable for me. I particularly love Brian Young’s author’s note at the end of the book. He does a wonderful job discussing the background of the text along with some of the creative decisions that he made. If you haven’t read this one, I highly recommend it (and its sequel!).
I am excited to share more about this fun activity book on Thursday! Paperfold Wild Animals: 10 Amazing Punch-Out-and-Fold Paper Creatures by Megan Montague Cash.

I am listening to Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt (It’s amazing!). And I am rereading Man Made Monsters by Andrea L. Rogers. This book is so spooky!

I bookmarked Healer of the Water Monster, Ricki, & look forward to that new paperfold book! Thanks! Wishing you a good week!
Remarkably Bright Creatures is a good one to listen to on audio – Marcellus’s chapters are so good!
It looks like you’ve been reading some wonderful books, Ricki—Healer of the Water Monster sounds like a beautiful read in particular! Thank you both so much for the wonderful post and for hosting us!
I started Healer of the Water Monster. Maybe I need to pick it back up and give it another go.
