#tenqueries complete. Takeaway: I am still looking for great, smart MG and YA. I love realistic, but I also love to be surprised. Try me!

Q8: Pass. MG mouse book. There are so many mouse hero books & MSs, and this one’s premise just didn’t stand out enough. #tenqueries

Q7: Request. Strong YA contemporary with great dialogue and compelling MC. Some small issues in opening but want to read more! #tenqueries

Q6: Pass. MG historical. I’d love a literary MG historical, but the slice of history explored has to be new or have a new angle. #tenqueries
