Welcome to this week's edition of #TeenTuesdays Book Talk! This week I am discussing another YA Graphic Novel: Spectacle by Megan Rose Gedris!
One of the most interesting things about this book is its setting - a sort of Wild West, circus theme! Anna and her twin sister Kat work for the Samson Brothers Circus. Anna is a fortuneteller and Kat is a knife-wielding daredevil. For Anna, it's just about making money. The fortunes aren't true. She isn't even psychic!
When the circus troupe becomes stranded in a small western town, the performers are struggling to make the moo-lah. On top of that, the ringleader gets put in jail and the bail is set ridiculously high!
One night, Anna discovers her sister has been murdered. She doesn't even have time to mourn - Kat's ghost immediately appears, demanding justice! But wait, Anna doesn't have any special powers. Her psychic skills aren't real...or are they? And can she use them to solve her sister's murder?
Callie's Opinion: I enjoyed this one, especially for the Wild West/Circus hybrid setting. There was a slew of unique and diverse characters. The main character, Anna, is enjoyable, and she is illustrated beautifully. There are bits of humor thrown in - my favorite was the Pee-Wee's Big Adventure fortune teller reference!!! The author hints at some unusual flashbacks that are left unexplained - the sequel should be interesting.

Every year, when huge festivals like Christmas, Eid, or Diwali arrive, my phone blows up with messages, and I need to reply to hundreds of people. It can be overwhelming to type out individual responses for everyone. Hello Says is a massive help during these times because you offer such a wide variety of festive wishes. I can pick different messages for my boss, my colleagues, my close friends, and my distant relatives, ensuring that everyone gets a greeting that is appropriate for our relationship. It makes the holiday season much less stressful and allows me to focus on enjoying the festivities.
We were organizing a large corporate event in the city and needed to store the event furniture, staging equipment, and promotional materials for a few weeks before the venue was available. We looked for movers and storage london. The removals company london we hired was incredibly reliable and punctual. They collected the equipment from our suppliers and held it in their warehouse. On the day of the event, they delivered everything to the venue on a strict schedule. Their logistical support was key to the event's success and took a lot of pressure off our team during the planning phase.
What I love about HelloSays is the variety of categories. From reliable financial services to everyday home services, everything is available in one place. This saves a lot of time for users.

This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.
There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you…
