Oooh baby, read harder has concluded, and a month early?! Go me! I finished my Who Has Done This, Super Puzzletastic Mysteries, and while I will say that I question whether each story really gives you all the information you would need to solve it, I still found it engaging and fun to read and try to figure out what happened. I'm looking forward to adding it to my school library, and I'm thinking I might use some of the short stories as a lesson activity to see if classes can solve the mystery.
Rumaysa was not something related to poetry, which I think was my guess for the challenge that I picked. It's actually a retelling of a fairytale - I went back and looked, and I picked one of the 202 challenges, read a retelling of a classic of the canon, fairytale, or myth by an author of color. I picked a good one! It's a compilation of a few retellings: Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. I loved the way they blended the three stories, with some girl power flavor. My only gripe is that the Rumaysa's story was never fully resolved. Otherwise, excellent!
And...that's a rap, I guess. I'll be back in December with my first picks for 2025!
