“gulf” – great book on the history of the gulf of mexico – although, rather depressing and dark b/c we’re not doing a great job taking care of it – the book won some notoriety though and i could see why

“magic misfits” – loved this book – by Neil Patrick Harris – great middle grade novel – or something fun for all ages to read – and i now know a magic trick!

“tru and nelle: christmas” – second book in this series – i didn’t read the first one – but we’ve all read “A Christmas Memory” now that i’ve moved that story to sixth grade so while it’s a middle grade book, i think even middle school could appreciate it

“patina” – book two in the TRACK series – didn’t like it as much as ghost – but it got great reviews so there:)
