A great meme hosted by Jen at Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee at Unleashing Readers. A place for people to talk about books they have recently read and are currently reading. Also a great place to find books to add to your "must read" list.
Here is what I have recently read (click on the title to learn more about the book):
By Veera Hiranandani
Set in the late 1940's, this is a powerful story about what happens to a family who is forced to leave the newly "created" Pakistan and make the dangerous journey to India.
By Chad Sell
A great graphic novel about a group of diverse neighborhood kids and how they decide to entertain themselves over the summer.
By Eoin Colfer and Andrew Donkin
A heartbreaking graphic novel about a young refugees journey from Africa to Europe. Definitely more young adult than middle grade!
By Jonathan Auxier
I loved this middle grade story about a young orphan and her hard life as a chimney sweep in Victorian London.
By Ann Braden
WOW! I haven't read a book this powerful in quite some time! A full review coming this week.
By Jennifer Richard Jacobson
I enjoy everything by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and this one is no different! Another good, and pretty powerful, middle grade story about how Lowen, the main character, deals with some serious guilt that he has after something terrible happens to someone he knows.
By Gary D. Schmidt
Both funny and serious, an entertaining story that includes a lot about cricket! :)
By Barbara O'Connor
Another great story about friendship by Barbara O'Connor!
Here are the books I am currently reading (click on the title to learn more about the book):
By Diane Magras
I was lucky enough to meet Diane Magras at a book signing last week. I have heard a lot of good buzz about this book and am excited to start it!
