Splash A spunky little girl plays a spirited game of hide-and-seek with water, in this gorgeously illustrated nonfiction picture book. A Robert F. Sibert Honor BookAn ALA Notable Children's Book Hey, water I know you You're all around. Join a young girl as she explores her surroundings and sees that water is everywhere. But water doesn't always look the same, it doesn't always feel the same, and it shows up in lots of different shapes. Water can be a lake, it can be steam, it can be a tear, or it can even be a snowman. As the girl discovers water in nature, in weather, in her home, and even inside her own body, water comes to life, and kids will find excitement and joy in water and its many forms. This latest work from award-winning author/illustrator Antoinette Portis is an engaging, aesthetically pleasing nonfiction picture book, complete with accessible backmatter on the water cycle, water conservation, and more.

Hold on to your "seats", cause it's one heck of a ride!
Format: Kindle
What a ride! From page 1, this book grabs you by the throat and doesn't ease up. Even if the ending was slightly predictable, I didn't care. I was so invested in all these characters that I read the whole book in 8 hours then I stood up and literally cheered at the end of the book. One of my favourite reads of the year. This is what a suspense book should make you feel.

Another Amazing Read from Rita Potter
Format: Kindle
I LOVE Rita's books and even though my TBR is out of control, I always get to her books as soon as possibe. And I am Never disappointed! This is a new genre for Rita and I know she was nervous about it - but she shouldn't have been because she wrote a great story. All the characters are complex and well developed, interesting, and at times entertaining. The suspense and mystery starts right at the beginning and builds throughout, with a few twists along the way. The setting works well for the book and the love story is wonderful to witness. That love story is always key in Rita's books no matter the genre. The relationship is challenged because, lets face it - people are flawed. Lies and secrets are discovered, and not all small ones. But the love outweighs any stirrings of distrust, and vulnerability and forgiveness shine through to get the happy ending for our MCs - with an exciting and dangerous mystery to solve along the way! All the components are present to make this book Another Amazing Read from Rita Potter!!

An awesome read!
Format: Kindle
Totally worth the read and then all the twists! Wow! Think thriller, mystery, and you get an airplane seat number. Huh? That’s what I wondered, and then I read this awesome story that blew my thoughts apart. I loved how Drew brought us on her journey to discover what happened. I was blown away at this seemingly complex telling that I was hooked and flipping as fast as I possibly could to see if Drew would find Kate. What Drew found was previously unknown information that kept guiding her to more clues. I was fascinated as each clue led us to the ultimate confrontation leading to an awesome conclusion. What a journey I was taken on and thoroughly enjoyed!
