Junie by Erin Crosby Eckstine explores Junie trying to break free. Loved the character dynamics and historical setting, but the ghost element and ending left me with mixed feelings.

Now that Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ is available to stream digitally — and in Black American Sign Language — it is a good time for those of us that might have missed certain nuances to return to one of 2025’s best-reviewed films and see what sticks out on a second (or fiftieth) viewing.

Libraries are one of the rare places children have CHOICE without gatekeepers saying “aren’t you too old for that”/“how about a PROPER book” etc. Choice drives reading for pleasure. If we truly care about reading for pleasure, we have to protect our libraries.
