Yes, Ursula Vernon--Danny Dragonbreath and Harriet the Hamster Princess.
Also Zita the Space Girl, which is hella fun.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The Stick Dog books by Tom Watson are entertaining.
The Humphrey series by Betty Birney, about a classroom hamster named Humphrey.
The Noisy Village books by Astrid Lindgren
The Judy Moody series by Megan McDonald
The Ellie McDoodle books by Ruth McNally Barshaw are a less-obnoxious example of the Wimpy Kid/Dork Diaries genre (my kid didn't like Dork Diaries till she was a few years older).

Between Here and Gone just showed up in my BookBub feed!
You're the second person I know to have a book show up there. The first was one I actually edited when Drollerie Press was up and running.

I'm reading The Atlantis Gene right now (well, listening on my commute). It's basically the book version of a popcorn movie complete with Nazis.
I'm going to have to find another audiobook soon and I don't think I'll be going to the second book in that series. Probably go with Cloudbound since I listened to Updraft.

Why has no one mentioned Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle? The Hilary Knight illustrations were a gateway to graphic novels for me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I read Mres. Piggle-Wiggle! I am not actually able to remember a thing other than the existence of the name at the moment, all details that are coming to mind I must view with suspicion as I am terribly prone to conflation, especially with anything from my childhood. So unreliable, memory. But Mrs Piggle-Wiggle is a positive one.
Continuing my Louise Penny Immersion Program, mostly by audiobook since that seems to be what my library has available. I love the way Ralph Cosham-as-Gamache says "Perhaps". And Ruth Zardo has become my life goal, without the awards, probably.

I mainlined those books. Want more. They were like Reese's pieces for me.

There's one available for pre-order, I believe...

I actually own ex-library copies of Mrs Piggle Wiggle. They're in with Narnia and Half Magic.
also: Hi -t! I won't give you ANY of the tomatoes I'm planting this summer. Cause I remember you don't like 'em at all.
