I just shared One for the Murphys as one of my favorite middle grade books from the past year. I both hated/loved the ending, but couldn't imagine it being as wonderful a book if she'd written it any other way.<br /><br />maria @novalibrarymom.comMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314699545684991720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-75870268391438714942013-04-01T19:26:41.267-07:002013-04-01T19:26:41.267-07:00Great books, Gigi.

I don't know the book, but I remember that story about the cannons; it was in some book I've read before. How neat someone told the story! And the Journal book will go on my TBR list.

You have two of my 2012 favorites in today's post...One for the Murphys and The False Prince. Read them both as read alouds this year and my students loved them! One of the thing's I loved about Lynda Mullaly Hunt's book is that she didn't take the easy ending route. <br /><br />I'm adding This Journal Belongs to Ratchet to my TBR list!<br /><br />Have a great week!<br />LiteracyDocenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746444238586627666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-75629175493841714312013-04-01T11:44:14.330-07:002013-04-01T11:44:14.330-07:00I really thought One for the Murphy's would en...I really thought One for the Murphy's would end differently....still blubbering.

I was really excited to see that at some point I purchased The False Prince for my Kindle so maybe I'll get that read over spring break. Thanks for the recommendations!
