So this is the first summer in a long, long time that I have taken weeks off at one time. I will have to admit it was so nice. This gave me many hours to read of course so I better catch up on some great books you might want to read soon.
This book by Courtney Summers. I would give it 3 Stars.
This was a quick read for me, I liked the story and I really could not figure out who had kidnapped the girl. I did feel the main character was seriously stronger than some people and she had a few head problems, which after reading I understand why she was a little messed up. She told people that she had been raped by the sheriff's son, but no one believes her. She distances herself from the town and not until another girl disappears do people, start to think something is really wrong in this town, but who is it if the Sherrif's son is not in town?
This is a High School /Adult book only. I won't have it in my middle school. I got it on Overdrive from the public library. (Sweet Deal & Free) Gotta Love that.
This is by Sara Pennypacker. I give this book 4 stars
This is a kid chapter book. But it is a best seller and it has been on my list for a while. I loved it, But I am a serious animal lover. I will book-talk this to my students who enjoy stories like Shilo, or Love that Dog by Creech. The boy in this story has a great story to share and just pulls you into his heart and makes you root for him. Pax is a great character and learns so much about trying new things and moving out there on your own. You will learn something about people in this book. I did love that the author acknowledged Chris Crutcher about writing a story within a story. If I taught a class with this book, I would try to get students to understand the story within the story, and those that are great readers will find it. Super sweet challenge.
This is an elementary book, however, I will add it for my sweet animal lover readers. Because we all love a Lassie story but is that the only story....
More to come... Keep Reading....
