bookshelves: childrens-lit, ya-lit, dystopian, action-adventure, middle-school
While westerns aren't usually my cup of tea, there was enough fantasy/dystopian elements (not to mention Stroud's incredible ability to write terrifying scenes) to keep me reading.

I'm not sure if I'll continue with the series, but I really enjoyed the first book. I'd recommend it for middle school and up. ]]> ReadStatus9348750002 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 16:59:59 -0700 <![CDATA[Simone wants to read 'A Dictionary of Scoundrels']]> /review/show/7516319146 A Dictionary of Scoundrels by Beth Lincoln Simone wants to read A Dictionary of Scoundrels by Beth Lincoln
