I love puzzles and mysteries, so this was a fun read!
Fish In A Tree
This book by Lynda Mullaly Hunt is an inspiring story about the power of believing in yourself.
The Crossover
I bought The Crossover by Kwame Alexander after researching the online book world for books which were getting a lot of buzz. The Crossover lives up to the hype, and has a Newbery Award to prove it! I absolutely loved the novel in verse format – Alexander has done an excellent job of capturing the rhythm of the game, while telling a heart-warming story.
You can listen to Alexander read one of the poems from The Crossover in this video.
A Year in the Life of a Total and Complete Genius
This was a fun middle school read by Stacey Matson, told through emails, notes, and journal entries.
Rain Reign
I absolutely loved this story by Ann M. Martin. I highly recommend it!
