Hi bookworms and welcome to my review of The Racc Pack by Stephanie Cooke and Whitney Gardner. Thank you to Simon and Schuster Canada for sending me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. This book comes out on January 23rd!
Meet the Bin family, a trio of raccoons in the risky business of dumpster diving for all their needs. With Dusty’s brains, ReRe’s muscle, and Scraps’s gadgets (please don’t tell him he’s almost definitely an opossum), the Binses are determined to leave no garbage bin unturned in their pursuit of the tastiest, most delicious trash they can find. When the family discovers a new upscale grocery store that’s throwing away their perfectly good food at the end of each day, the Binses hatch a heist so daring it’ll have them rolling in garbage all winter long. But a critter-despising CEO, Jeff Beans, and the high-tech defense system he’s installed means liberating that trash is going to take all the skills the Racc Pack have…and maybe some help from a cat burglar with a mysterious past. This was so much fun! The humour in this book was great and definitely left me smiling. I'm Canadian and love that this was set in Toronto. There were so many cute jokes like how a coffee shop was named Tom Mortons instead of Tim Hortons 😂. Dusty, ReRe, and Scraps were each interesting in their own way and I loved how they each used their strengths to help with the heist. The other side characters were also very fun and I enjoyed how we got to see more of the animal community come together in the end. The illustrations were detailed and expressive and were a lot of fun to look at. The ending left an opening for a second volume which I'd love to read. I think this would be a great read for middle grade audiences who are trying to get more into reading, but I also think older readers would enjoy it as well! Plus who doesn't love raccoons? (And maybe an opossum 🤫) I gave this book 4/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's a wrap on my review of The Racc Pack by Stephanie Cooke and Whitney Gardner. I hope you enjoyed it!

Hi bookworms and welcome to my review of Camp Prodigy by Caroline Palmer! Thank you to Simon and Schuster for sending me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. This book comes out on June 11th!
This middle-grade graphic novel takes place at a summer camp and follows 2 non-binary kids. After becoming inspired to pursue the violin, Tate decides to attend Camp Prodigy, a summer orchestra camp. There they meet Eli, an exceptional violinist, the one who inspired Tate in the first place. But since their performance, Eli had a nervous breakdown and hasn’t been able to play. Together, can they figure out how to turn Tate into a star and have Eli overcome their performance anxieties? Or will the pressure take them both down? Camp Prodigy was such a fun read! The artwork was really cute and captured my attention right away. The main characters Tate and Eli were relatable and intriguing. I especially liked following how Tate and Eli's friendship developed as they each grew on their own. Both the musical and camp elements were interesting to read about. I had never read a book about a musical camp before! While there are a lot of fun aspects I also appreciated how this book talks about more serious topics like burnout and the pressure of trying to live up to expectations. Overall I had a great time reading it! I gave this book 4/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's all for my review of Camp Prodigy by Caroline Palmer! I hope you enjoyed it!
