Robert A. Slade, after collecting old fishing tackle since 1958 and contributing articles on old fishing lures for a collector magazine for several years started researching and writing books in the 1990's. He published the History & Collectible Fishing Tackle Of Wisconsin in 1999 which sold 4,500 copies. Bob realized that even though there have been many books published on the subject of old fishing lures that few books covered any detailed history on the old lure makers. His latest book writing project was nine years in the making and covers over 100 years of lure making history starting in 1875 and covers over 2,500 lures makers throughout all of North America. The Encyclopedia Of Old Fishing Lures Made In North America is the first publication with extensive history and patent information on old lure makers and the first to include extensive coverage on Canadian lure makers. The author traveled to 11 states and 3 Canadian Providences visiting collectors homes, newspaper archives, museums and other sources and has taken over 10,000 pictures in preparing the historical stories for these books. The set of books arranges for the individual and company lures makers to appear in alphabetical order. Each book has over 400 pages of text, pictures and collector values with each book containing a table of contents and index as well as a master index for the complete set of books.

It's rare to see this kind of representation in a book for tweens, and I am 100% here for it!
Format: Hardcover
My 9-year-old daughter loved this book. It's about two 6th grade witches (Delpha and Katybird) from rival Appalachian families who are learning how to use their magic. The book is told from both of their points of view. As a parent, I was pleasantly surprised by the different types of representation in this book and how sensitively they are handled. Delpha's dad left her and her mom when Delpha was little, and they now live in poverty. Delpha's mom is struggling to pay the bills and sells her family heirlooms to Katybird's grandparents, who run a small museum. Katybird is intersex (androgen sensitive) and believes this is messing with her magical powers. Katy's brother Caleb is Deaf and communicates with sign language. Another character, Tyler, has two moms. It's super rare to see this kind of representation in a book for tweens, and I am 100% here for it.
There's a great scene where Katy reflects on attending another girl's "first moon party" and the attendees share stories about getting their first periods. When the other girls hear that Katy will never have a period due to her androgen sensitivity, they are shocked and treat her with pity and say they will pray for her. Katy is upset because she already loves and accepts herself. "As if making babies was the whole point of me existing," she thinks to herself. I seriously loved this example of how well-intentioned behavior can be hurtful. I also liked how characters getting their first periods is treated as something magical and worthy of celebration. There is so much about this book that is like a breath of magical fresh air.
In addition to all the beautiful inclusive elements woven into this book, it's just really FUN. There is a pet raccoon, an enchanted outhouse, zombies, and hexes that go wrong.
The only minor complaint my daughter had was that the plot relies repeatedly on the two main characters being separated and looking for each other.
Otherwise, this book was a winner with our young reader. Write more books, Ash Van Waterloo! We love you!

Emotional development...
Format: Hardcover
Cattywampus
Ash Van Otterloo
This is the story of Delpha McGill, a girl that doesn’t like rules or keeping secrets. Delpha lives in a small town in rural Appalachia, Howler’s Hollow, where magic is not permitted. She discovers her grandmother’s hidden book of spells which she is determined to use to help her mother.
Katybird Hearn has her own reasons for wanting to get her hands on the book of spells and has resolved nobody is going to stand in her way. She comes from a long line of witches. In the midst of their squabble, they unintentionally allow a curse to escape. The curse is so evil it wakes their dead ancestors, the Hearns and the McGills, The two girls must learn to work together if they are going to save the town from the zombies.
The author uses great sensitivity in incorporating androgen insensitivity in the plot. Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a condition that affects sexual development before birth and during puberty. People with this condition are genetically male, with one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each cell. Because their bodies are unable to respond to certain male sex hormones (called androgens), they may have mostly female external sex characteristics or signs of both male and female sexual development. Poverty, sorcery, fears, friendship, and ignorant biases are all a part of this book.
Author Ash Van Otterloo portrays life in a southern country town in the mountains and he does so without being demeaning or patronizing. The characters are well fleshed out. While magic is part of the plot, it is merely a means to showcase the emotional development of the two girls. This is a fast-paced read. The target audience is 10-13 years of age.

Fun if a bit offbeat upper elementary fantasy
Format: Hardcover
I read this in one afternoon and have to say I enjoyed it. The cast of characters are incredibly diverse, and for the most part this is a believable story (despite the undead magicians and ridiculous outhouse) This story is a "Hatfields vs McCoys" if the two hillbilly families were magicians and were feuding over how they practice instead of over moonshine and land. This brings me to my first gripe with the novel. The dense dialogue in accents. For a middle grade book, the text is filled with a lot of phonetic spellings and backwards english. I guess it is to be atmospheric, but it just makes the characters seem dumb. And that is sad because they are not. Stubborn, and sometimes too preoccupied to see what is under their noses but not stupid. I sometimes felt that the characters had been written into a corner so there were multiple instances of "because magic" and convenient acts of random fortuitous "we have everything we need and don't have to search more because the Luck Gods were smiling". Once or twice I completely missed how the characters got from point A to point B and I Really dislike "wave a wand and everything is good and the mortals forget what happened". A little convenient magic written to solve a solution is fine. But the ending sort of feels a little flat when a Major concern for the entire novel is resolved by sleight of hand.
On the whole though, the characters are likable, and age appropriate (though a bit whiny at times for this parent ;-p) and I liked that diversity isn't a "cause" its just an adjective...As in, there is a gay couple who act like every other parent in the story. There is a deaf younger brother who isn't treated as 'precious' but as a functioning human. Even one of the main characters is intersex and does question "Am I girl enough to be a witch". None of the cast of characters feels forced or out of place making this a nice addition to my kid's library.
ARC free in exchange for an honest review.

As parents, we absolutely love the author’s books, and this one—Construction Site: A Thankful Night—is no exception! The lift-the-flap feature keeps our kids engaged, and they love discovering the surprises hidden inside. The story is perfect for Thanksgiving, teaching kids about gratitude in a fun and interactive way. The colorful illustrations and familiar construction site characters make it even more enjoyable for our little ones. We’re huge fans of this series, and our kids can’t get enough! Highly recommend for young readers!
