I am a bit behind on my reviews, so am doing a post that briefly states what I read over the past couple of months.
1) The Guinevere Deception is a fun take on King Arthur/Camelot. It is the first of a series and I really enjoyed it.
2) Scars Like Wings is a debut, and is amazing. Erin Stewart the author visited our school, and gave a wonderful presentation, which I didn't see but did hear about (for 8th grade students). In short, a teen is recovering from a horrific fire, and is adjusting to going back to school. I predict pink wigs will soon be a fashion statement...statement being key.
3) Framed! A wonderfully fun start to a mystery series staring a 12 year old D.C student who assists the FBI. Great friendships, logic, and a good overall read for MS students
4) This Land is Our Land: should be required reading for all. It truly puts into perspective our history in the world, with our immigrants, and migration causes in general.
5) Charlie Thorne and the Last Equation. A fun, pretty wild espionage tale also featuring a 12 year old. Slightly less believable, but fun for students who love Spy School, and really love lots of chase scenes.
