I Read a Book. Monday, December 1, 2014. With good intentions . It was with good intentions that I started blogging about what I am reading. It worked out really well for a while, and then it didn't work so well. But, I am going to dig in and be gritty and keep blogging away - even though it would be easy for me to give up on it. Just because I haven't been blogging, doesn't mean that I haven't been reading. Here is a list of the middle grade and young adult books I have read since last I blogged:. And t...

Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. Novels in verse, like this one, are like many, many little and beautiful stories that add up to one giant wonderful story. This one, Jacqueline Woodson's newest release, is so powerful I had to read many parts of it out-loud to the Kujawski boys. And very often when I did, the tallest one, Barney, recognized the sweetness of the story too. Yet, still, we could simply read beyond the brown. SAMS kids and families, you are welcome to my copy!

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. The episodes of war are both frightening (like when the German Luftwaffe is hovering above the girls as they try to escape the shooting or the accounts of Nazi torture) and intriguing (like all the plotting, planning, and promising the Resistance efforts require). And the narratives are written like a puzzle. You are certain you can trust the narrators, but you realize you aren't the only audience reading the pages. But, BUT! Spy and a female. Pilot, no less. The b...

Liar and Spy by Rebecca Stead. Part-mystery, part-coming-of-age realistic fiction book, and all intrigue. Georges, grade 7, would like to move back into his old house. And not just because of the cool fire-escape bed he had in his bedroom- but also because his mom wouldn't have to work doubles back and his dad would still have a job. Readers will find themselves rooting for Georges and his family, inquisitively wondering about Safer and his siblings, and searching for the meaning of the title of the book...

Inner Circle by Brad Melzer. I would describe this book as The DaVinci Code meets National Treasure. It's a thrilling mystery written mostly for adults, but there's a good number of my 7th graders who will devour this book. It centers around a young archivist who accidentally steps smack-dab into the middle of a dangerous secret club that surrounds the President of the United States. Even though it's a modern-day mystery, I learned a lot of history and Washington D.C. Virals by Kathy Reichs. In all my re...
