Good books to make you think, feel, grow, smile.

Special thanks to Mrs. Donaldson for recommending these great titles. These books are great ones to read with an adult, friend, sibling, or teacher because they make you think about life and it's unpredictable ways and the universal themes we all face.



The book talk video will introduce each of them, but here's a quick list:


Beastly by Alex Flinn
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Epic by Conor Kostick
Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick
Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks

Enjoy, everyone. And Keep Reading!

Three Super Sports Stories.

Even though the Yankees won the World Series (again!), I still believe in the magic of sports. If you are an athlete or sports fan, you've probably witnessed magical moments in sports firsthand.

If you aren't, doesn't matter, you will still enjoy reading about the kids whose lives are affected by playing sports, winning and losing, and being on a team.

Just remember, sports books aren't just for athletes. Not anymore than the Twilight series is just for vampires or science fiction is just for insane robots. I promise you'll "score" with one of these (oops...bad joke!)

Keep reading everyone!
