“This Book is Not Yet Rated” – great YA – enjoyed it – and just in time for Father’s Day when I read it – great book for someone who loves books:)

“The Undefeated” – great picture book – it won an award this past year, after all:) but great book

“Scary Stories for Young Foxes” – another great book – took a while to get to “great,” but it got there – and I enjoyed it – would love to add it to my sixth grade reading list

“Deacon King Kong” – Oprah liked it – so how could I not? 🙂 took a few pages, but I really enjoyed it after that – highly recommendable

“We Are Not From Here” – another great read – not for middle school, per se, but really good, gripping account

“SNES Encyclopedia” – AND if you’re a child of the ’90s, a must book recapping every game ever made for the SNES – wow, upon reflection, there were some really bad games made:)

“A Synthesizing Mind” – Howard Gardner – great book – will be my AAGC presentation this fall
