If you are looking for some summer reading, here is Gilbert Public School's Battle of the Books reading list for 2011-2012. Most of these books, if not all, were awarded the Newberry Medal or Honor. My homies and I selected The View From Saturday, The Lightning Theif, and Everything on a Waffle for our summer reading. We're also reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, because, you know, it's the greatest American novel, according to mi Amor.
Happy reading!

P.S. This post is dedicated to Jill Ison.
P.P.S Finding Daddy by Louise Plummer, the book my homgurl is holding in this picture, is a suspenseful thriller that your teen won't want to put down.

ReplyDeleteP.S. If you felt someone staring at you - at Costco yesterday, I will confess now (unless you are considering a restraining order, then nope, wasn't me!). I was shopping with my clan, and you walked on by. It was seriously like a star-sighting. =) I was giddy.
ReplyDeleteJamie, I didn't notice. I was there about 5 times yesterday. Did you see me with my family, and how my husband had to run and grab the toilet paper because I forgot to buy it? Then my kids begged for the caramel apples, and we had to go back and grab those, too? I wish you would have come and said hi and then we could have hugged and been BFFS for life:)
