Hello and happy Saturday. This has been a weird week for me because I got more hours of class assigned, which is good because it means I’ll earn more money, but it’s also more exhausting. That exhaustion has caused me to “miss” the deadlines I’ve set for my self reading and reviewing-wise, specifically when it comes to NetGalley arcs. Thankfully, I took the time last night to reassess the plans I’d made and come up with a more realistic and less daunting reading schedule. This is how I got to read Wednesday Wilson Connects the Dots by Bree Galbraith. I’d like to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

If you have children in your life, you should read this book and then maybe get a copy for said children. I think this would be ideal for students who are getting into chapter books because the font is large, the language is pretty simple, and there are beautiful illustrations by Morgan Goble that complement the text but also make the reading experience more enjoyable for young readers.

This is the third book in the Wednesday Wilson series, but you don’t need to have read the previous books to understand this one. Wednesday Wilson is an entrepreneur, or she wants to become one, and in this installment she takes advantage of a day off from school to plan a business venture with her friends and her brother. She decides to get into the beauty industry, giving people fake freckles, but some people want to sabotage her plans.

The story was cute, and reading it was like taking a break amongst the heavy reads and adult responsibilities I have to deal with. There is a diverse cast of characters, both in terms of race and sexual orientation, although I am pretty sure this is not an own-voices story, at least from what I could read from the author.
