  "The Tinker Sleep" was born as a poem and remains so in this newly minted Book Eight of Kelly Anne Manuel's Essentials Series. In this story the Child is invited on a journey into space when the narrator is unable to sleep during the night. An interesting character known as the Tinker Sleep, is introduced towards the end of the book and has been created to personify slumber."The Tinker Sleep" offers a standing invitation to the Child. The Child will learn that if their sleep is interrupted just writing on paper can be helpful. They can use a journal, diary, notebook or pad as a temporary tool to find their way back to sleep. This is story for all times of day but really does fit in nicely with a sleep time routine.The simple words take on new meaning as the illustrations pair perfectly with their presentation. The illustrations offer a view of a possible dream state. The dream state depicted includes rainbows, galaxies, planets and stars. There are hot air balloons, clouds, and stormy skies to capture and keep the Child's attention."The Tinker Sleep" addresses the important issue of a good night's sleep. The idea that paper and pencil can be helpful once awoken from sleep is a theme the author embraces. The Child will enjoy the rhythm of the words and playful ideas of outer space. The message that great ideas can be found in times of quiet is also supported by the story.It is in Early Childhood that sleep patterns, night time rituals and habits are formed. "The Tinker Sleep" is a tool in a Caregiver's toolbox to assist with that healthy formation. The idea that we can learn to self sooth with a hobby such as writing is such an important message that the author embraces. The Child who reads this book will be rewarded with a fun adventure into not only a dream world but a literary one.

  Full of grotesque monsters and revenge, Evie Mei's journey to confront her mother's killer comes to an end in this sequel to The Spindle of Fate by Aimee Lim. 
   
  Evie Mei Huang has literally been to hell and back alongside her friend Kevin. And while the trip to Dìyù, the Chinese underworld, was a grueling journey filled with endless horrors, nothing compares to the fact that she was unable to bring her mother back. She now has the great responsibility to assume the role her mother once held: head of the Weavers Guild. Spinning people’s fates sure seemed easier said than done, and now Evie finds herself buried in Guild duties while trying to maintain a strained relationship with her best friend. 
   
  What could make a twelve-year-old’s life even more complicated? Escaped monsters from the underworld that broke through when she returned to Earth. A mysterious yellow fog that seems to be turning their city upside down and hinting at an approaching massive force they aren’t prepared to fight. Not to mention the looming threat of the man who sent her mom to the underworld in the first place (who’s also her aunt’s fiancé). Can’t a girl catch a break? 
   
  Aimee Lim’s fast-paced conclusion to Evie Mei’s story is filled with her signature sardonic voice, explorations of grief and relationships, and thrilling action that will leave readers rooting for the young girl whose courage outshines everyone else’s.
