It's Monday, What Are You Reading? August 17, 2015

Please visit the amazing blogs: Teach Mentor Texts and Unleashing Readers who host this terrific meme each week.
I took a bit of a blogging break for the last few weeks to relax a bit with family. I was able to read quite a few books. I won't list them all, but here are the highlights.
Click on the book covers to read more about them.
Such a sweet wordless picture book.
A moving story of a family forced to sell many of their belongings as they move into an apartment due to financial struggles. 
Loved this middle grade novel. Part fantasy, part historical fiction. 

Halfway through, I did not think I would like this book, but I am glad I stuck with it. It is extremely well-written. Betters for grade 6+ in my opinion.

New middle grade fiction from a well-respected educator/author. Review to come.

    I've enjoyed all of these that I've read. I haven't gotten to Zack yet. Circus Mirandus was one of my favorites this year.

    Zack had its moments. Didn't know anything about the author. Perhaps it will show up on the Cybils lists. The season is starting!

    Circus Mirandus was such fun to read! Float seems to be the PB of the day - I'll have to check it out!

    I still have not read The Greenglass House, maybe someday, Gigi. The new one, Zack Delacruz, is on my list, too. I shared Float today too, and loved Yard Sale & Circus Mirandus. Lots of good books you've shared today. Thank you.
