    I just loved Perfect Square. It was one of the books on the MD book list this past year. I've got The Real Boy on my to read list. Thanks for sharing!

    There is a Bird on Your Head is my MOST FAVORITE PIGGIE AND ELEPHANT BOOK EVER. I've pretty much got it memorized.
    Cloak Society is pretty good. World Rat Day is waiting for me at the library right now. I have The Real Boy as an e-arc that hasn't timed out yet. I need to get to it ... so much good buzz! I find I always read the hard copy books I have first, though.

      Yes, mine was a digital arc also. It is a bit slow to start, but a very creative and smart book.

      I got a digital arc from eidelweiss. It starts off a bit slow and then gains some speed with some magical surprises. I think you (and your class) will like it.

    You have some of our favorites listed here :) The elephant and piggie series has been such a hit at our home that I had to review it too. Do stop by and share your thoughts on our blog post.

      I wish the Elephant and Piggie books were around years ago. They are just great! I will certainly check out your blog.

    My son loved The Cloak Society. I haven't borrowed it from his bookshelves yet! Can't wait to read The Real Boy. Loved Breadcrumbs.

      Yes, I really like Breadcrumbs too. Anne Ursu puts her same magical spin to use in The Real Boy. I am liking The Cloak Society so far, but it seems like every time I sit down to read I keep getting interrupted so I have not been able to really get into it.

    World Rat Day is majorly fun, right?! And I love Elephant and Piggie!
    I bought Bomb early this year, but haven't gotten to it yet. I love great nonfiction!
    I, too, will be reading The Real Boy soon- I cannot wait!

    Happy reading this week :)
