This month’s book is The Magic of Someday Soon by Michelle Lee. 📖✨

Two twelve-year-old girls, Zoe and Teddy, team up to save a prehistoric theme park in a small Florida town, while discovering friendship and the meaning of home. 🦕💛 Lee seamlessly weaves light strands of fantasy into the threads of this young adult story.
