“disappeared” – ms. fuller of the county lent this book to me – i love that author – tackled a difficult subject – with good writing – and included the great question of where God was in the midst of it all – which is a great question to explore in life

“winner take all” – definitely not a middle school book – was about highly gifted kids though – but pretty shockingly not YA material – was glad to get through it

“geeked up” – short book about LAME – new superheroes at a middle school – it had cute moments – and lots of drawings

“thinking in threes” – teaching book – incorporated some of it into our five paragraph essays – I am hopeful to include more later

“all’s faire in middle school” – i used this example with sixth grade on our essays – highly recommendable – homeschool kid whose parents are renaissance fair workers tries middle school – cute premise and pretty okay

“extreme ownership” – what i talked to seventh and eighth grade about – US Navy seals who advise businesses – wish i could turn teaching into the same big buck advising:)
