Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again.

I picked this up for my son and I to read together. But so far I haven't gotten around to reading it to him. I did read it myself. It's not a very long book and I basically read it while I was sitting with him as he did his homework. It is an utterly charming book. The dad is sent out for milk so his kids can eat their cereal and so he can have milk for his tea. But he is gone for a very long time and the kids begin to wonder where he is. Then he comes back with the milk and a long story involving space aliens, time travel, talking dinosaurs, and a whole host of other adventures. It's pretty great. For me, it's basically what Douglas Adams might have written had he written a children's book with its certain cheeky irreverence. It's a super fun book with wonderful illustrations by Skottie Young. I think my son will enjoy it when I read it to him.
