pickMy son and I started this months ago. It turned out to be too young for him and he completely predicted the outcome with more than half the story remaining. I agreed we did not need to finish it. Yesterday, when I was waiting for my Midnight Sun delivery, I decided to finish it on my own. Heartwarming, sweet story, with important lessons. Would be perfect for kids in elementary school, even though the characters are in middle school.
pickAn adorable sciencey middle grade school transition and finding yourself in adversity kind of plot
pickThis was an inspiring book about friendship, becoming who you are meant to be, and kindness. The characters were wonderfully written and there was just the right amount of light humor to brighten some of the disappointments dealt to the main character.
My son and I are reading “Shine!” by JJ and Chris Grabenstein. If you go to their site, you will find lots of fun things including JJ reading the first chapter.
