You like fall reading? “Ghosts and Goblins: Stories for Hallowe’en”, edited by Wilhelmina Harper. If you can get a copy from around 1936, that’s pretty cool. The illustrations are also lovely.

I read We Are the Ants back in 2018 during by freshman year of college. I remember relating to the main character somewhat, but overall I did not think it was a very good book. I'm curious to see what your thoughts are the second time around.
