My 2 Cents on Rebel: A Legend Novel
Six years have passed since 2013, which was when Marie Lu (Warcross, The Young Elites) wrapped up her YA dystopian Legend novel series by publishing the third—and what was intended to be the final—entry, Champion.

My 2 Cents on Frindle
Frindle, Andrew Clements's 1996 debut children's novel, tells the story of Nicholas Allen, an imaginative fifth-grader with a bit of a troublemaking streak.

My 2 Cents on Toy Story 4
Nine years. That's how long it's been since Pixar Animation Studios made everyone break down in tears by releasing 2010's Toy Story 3, a touching conclusion to the trilogy and the gang of toys whom we've grown to love.
