Despite the high stakes and a few frightening moments, the story is never overserious it’s just right for readers who have grown up with, but aged out of, The Little Mermaid and the Disney Fairies franchise." - Publishers Weekly ![]() Themes of conquering fear and believing in oneself are woven throughout, along with an acknowledgment of humans’ environmental impact on the sea and its inhabitants. Readers will eagerly await future volumes and the answers they will provide."- VOYA Quick-witted, loveable characters and a well-planned fantasy world make this an all-encompassing book. Friendship, trust, and responsibility are major themes as Sera struggles to grasp that she is really her kingdom’s only hope.

Overall though, I was really impressed by Reinhart’s debut collection! It’s a gorgeous little book, inside and out. I think the book could have been tighter, and more impactful, if some of the weaker poems had been cut. The book was structured in a way that made the relationship focused poems feel a bit repetitive. I will say, however, that some of the poems in Swimming Lessons fell a little flat for me. ![]() The illustrations that are scattered through out the book were also a beautiful addition. I also loved the poems in which she discussed her mental health, they felt the most raw and relatable to me. In one poem, she describes herself as a hopeless romantic, and that quality shines through in her writing. Thus, I was happily surprised to find that I really enjoyed Swimming Lessons. Though I think highly of Reinhart and admire how open she is when discussing her depression, my previous experiences with books written by actors have been mostly negative. Tbh, I went into this book with fairly low expectations. ![]() In her debut poetry collection, Lili Reinhart, of Riverdale fame, explores relationships and mental health in a straight forward and relatable style. Thank you to for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review! ![]() ![]() I was also entertained by the world DeVivo created, and it puts an interesting twist on what we think we know about Santa and his elves. She’s a solid protagonist who will immediately win your sympathy. I truly enjoyed Ember and the struggle she endured due to her refusal to meekly accept the lot in life that had been chosen for her. Next, we learn that to leave the mines without permission incurs the harshest of penalties. ![]() Remember how all the naughty kids are threatened with coal in their stockings come Christmas morning? Well, someone has to provide it, right? And so DeVivo lures us into a vivid and entertaining world of the elves working for the “Boss” (aka Santa), and introduces us to Ember Skye, a coal elf working in the mines and helping to provide lumps of coal to bad children everywhere.īut all is not sunshine and singing-while-we-work, because we learn that Ember had been used to a charmed upbringing Aboveground, and she had been assigned as a coal elf much against her will. This is not your typical Christmas story! Author Maria DeVivo’s Coal Elf is an amazing fantasy story with a bit of a dark edge. ![]() ![]() I’ve been sneaking away just to get my pleasure reading done, and let me tell you I have not been disappointed. ![]() ![]() Pizza is both American and Italian, / depending on which restaurant you go to.” Jude, who has always loved American movies, shares her observations-often with humor-as she soaks everything in and learns this new culture.
