A STARRED REVIEW from School Library Journal for Burst your Bubble!
It’s an honour for Burst Your Bubble!: Outsmart the Algorithms and See What You’re Missing, illustrated by Jan Dolby and published by Owlkids Books, to be in such a fantastic line-up of books out this fall, according to Quill & Quire’s 2025 Fall Preview. Q&Q’s awesome line-up of fall books includes veteran children’s author Karen Krossing’s My Street Remembers (Cathie Jamieson illustrator) and Feeling Your Feelings: The Head-to-Toe Science of Emotions by Tanya Lloyd Kyi (Phil Nicholls illustrator). Burst Your Bubble! comes out November 11 and is now available for pre-order at your local bookstore or online (check here to find and support your local bookstore). It’s officially meant for kids age 8 to 11, but it could be younger or older, depending on their reading level and what they enjoy reading about–and it’s also a great, quick-reading overview for adults wanting to know more about algorithms!
