World Kid Lit Month 2023: A Middle Grade Book

A Middle Grade Book: 

The secrets of Cricket Karlsson. 
Written by Kristina Sigunsdotter; illustrated by Ester Eriksson; translated by Julia Marshall. 

Gecko Press, 2022. 

Me and books about death - again. 
This age is such a tough one to write about - and to live through. 
That balance between being a child, but sometimes stepping into adult waters. 
There's friendship issues.
The impact of adult mental health issues on those around them.
There's growing up. And growing away. And growing closer.
