Answer to Fairday's Riddle: Creating Lines...
Excellent guessing, Riddlers. We'll be casting our lines for fun. Tune in next week to find out how the answer ties into the story. See you all around the book block. ~ F
You can cast one out or pick one up, drop one over a coffee cup. Twist it here, swirl it there, lead it almost anywhere. There's nothing much for you to see until it's known what it will be. Stretch it on or zig zag through; it serves its purpose on your cue.
What is it? Answer: Line.

Marvelous Middle Grade Monday # MMGM Book Review: Hello, Universe by Erin Entrada Kelly
Virgil, Valencia, Kaori, and Chet are four kids growing up in the same town, and their lives are more intertwined than any of them know. Summer break may just change all of their lives. Virgil isn’t as happy as he should be for the start of summer vacation. He’s happy not to see the bully at school, but he regrets that he didn't do something he had tried to get up the nerve to do all year. Virgil is very quiet and comes from a family full of loud and chatty people. Only his grandmother seems to really get him. He sets of some regular appointments with Kaori, a self-proclaimed psychic who lives in his neighborhood. Maybe she can help him. Either way, Kaori loves having Virgil over so she can show her younger sister how to read signs and tell the future. Valencia loves the woods and likes to record her observances in her journal, just like other scientists. She would like to find a friend to talk to and confide in. Life would be a little bit easier for her if her parents would learn sign language, but she makes it through reading lips and using her hearing aides, which give her some help. And then there is Chet, a kid who likes to make fun of others and who can't stand all the "weird" kids in his town. He just wants to get better at basketball and get a snake picture to brag about. But when Chet throws Virgil's guinea pig down a well, things change in more ways than one. Will Chet get in trouble for his antics? Will he get his snake picture? Will Virgil be able to save his guinea pig? Can Kaori tell the future? Will Valencia find the friend she desperately needs? You will have to see what happens when four lives intersect and a well changes everything.
