Happy Friday, everybody! Let’s dive into this week’s edition of fifteen-word book reviews:

1. 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson
Fun European adventure. Would have had teen me planning my own trip.

2. Corduroy by Don Freeman
I remember being really nervous that Corduroy would never find a button or a home.

3. The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot
I mentally recite “I had not thought death had undone so many,” on crowded subways.

4. Croak by Gina Damico
Lots of great death-related puns and fun world-building. Nice to see an aggressive protagonist, too.

5. It’s Thanksgiving by Jack Prelutsky
Liked this way better than real Thanksgiving as a kid (I was a picky eater).
