Cute story of a unique friendship. Good for grades K-2.
Reviewed this one last week. Click here to read my review.
Middle Grade
Really enjoyed this book from the 2016-17 MSBA list.
This book hit closer to home than I expected. Very powerful without being too focused on the "message". Upper middle grades.
I love Jennifer Nielsen's books and this was an excellent sequel to Mark of the Thief.
I have not read many historical fiction set during the Civil War. I really enjoyed this one. For YA readers.
An engaging audio book for YA readers.
Currently Reading
I am reading this one very slowly because it is jammed packed with great ideas!

I am excited to be participating in my first ever #CyberPD this summer. We are reading DIY Literacy. Click here to read my first reflection.
What are YOU reading friends?
Rise of the Wolf looks good but I still have to read Mark of the Thief which is currently on my Kindle. Come see my reading week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Summerlost, Gigi. I'm sure it will be good. And I need to catch up on this new Jennifer Nielsen series. I loved the others. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe Big Book of Details looks inspiring, I'm not a teacher but I find a lot of educational PD texts inspiring and very applicable in my work as well.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out Like a River...the Big Book is on my desk - the next PD book to read!
ReplyDeleteI have Seventh Wish in my summer pile, but my summer is going by too quickly! I hope to get to it; however, I am not sure if it'll happen... Maybe I'll make it my first student book club choice :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week!
I'm always on the lookout for good Civil War fiction
ReplyDeleteThe Boys who Challenged Hitler is at the top of my list. I am glad to hear it is a great audio. I look forward to this one!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Summer Lost - my daughter and I both loved it. Can't wait to read The Seventh Wish.
ReplyDeleteThe BoysWho Challenged Hitler was great! There's a new Freedman title on the White Rose society and one on Dietrich Bonhoeffer- good to be hearing some of the less heard of stories from WWII.
