MILDRED L. BATCHELDER HONOR WINNER

School Library Journal Best of the Year
BCCB Best of the Year (Blue Ribbon Selection)

A beautiful slice-of-life story that is This One Summer meets Ursula K. Le Guin's Very Far Away from Anywhere Else, told in flashbacks

16-year-old Raquel lives in a small town in Portugal, the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else's business. Her parents are divorced and she's just been suspended for cursing out a school aide asking about her father's new marriage. She has two best friends, Luísa and Fred, but wants something more. Then, from afar, she sees Pardalita, a senior and a gifted artist who's moving to Lisbon to study in the fall. The two girls get to know each other while working on a play. And Raquel falls in love.

Using a gorgeous blend of prose poems, illustrations, and graphic novel format, author and artist Joana Estrela captures the feeling of being a teenager in a way that feels gentle, joyful, and real.

Expected a better smell
Scent: Sweet Tobacco, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I picked up the Sweet Tobacco scent and was honestly expecting something a little richer and smoother. The smell isn’t terrible, but it’s not good either, and it’s definitely not what I had in mind. It comes across a bit more artificial and lighter than a true “sweet tobacco” scent. As far as performance goes, the oil itself does its job. It softens my beard and keeps it manageable without feeling greasy, which I appreciate. I just wish the scent matched the quality of how it works. Overall, it’s decent if you’re just looking for a basic beard oil, but if scent is a big factor for you, this one might be a bit disappointing.

Quality Sandalwood scent, just not the same formula as before
Scent: Sandalwood, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love the quality of sandalwood in this product, it smells terrific. It’s also potent and projects to where people around you can smell it on you. Although I love this product, I just recently bought this again and I’m starting to think it’s not the same formula that I got from before. Not as strong. This is better than the Everyman Jack product however and much higher quality sandalwood, I just wish that I can get the same formula from when I first purchased this it was super rich and wanted a full size bottle of this stuff.

More of a travel kit
Size: 4 Piece Set
I love this stuff. Smells great makes my beard soft and my skin not itchy/flaky. The beard Shave loom is by far the best shaving cream loop that i've ever used. These bottles are Really small and would work really well as a travel kit. But Jack black's products are fantastit's . just do it. stop, what are you waiting for.
