Last week, I finished reading two middle grade novels, one is old favorite and one has just been published, but both were excellent and reviews will follow shortly:
1- The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare
2- Soldier Dog by Sam Angus
1- In Andal's House by Gloria Whelan
2- Brick by Brick by Charles R. Smith, Jr.
3- Building Our House by Jonathan Bean
1- The Hero of Ticonderoga by Gail Gauthier
2- Bo at Ballard Creek by Kirkpatrick Hill
3- The Vine Basket by Josanne La Valley
1- Siege and Storm (The Grisha #2) by Leigh Bardugo
What are you reading?
It's been a while since I've read The Witch of Blackbird Pond - but I recall that novel leaving such a huge impact on me - I enjoyed it greatly. Kind of reminded me a little bit of The Crucible. :) Thanks for sharing all these, Alex.
ReplyDeleteBuilding Our House is such a great book.. love the others on your shelf too. We are reading A Hundred Dresses by Elenor Estes and Ivy/Bean chapter books. Waiting for some picture books from the library.
ReplyDeleteI read Brick by Brick several weeks ago and added it to my Buy list for library books next fall. It is very well crafted. I love this type of historical referencing. THe Hero of Ticonderoga appeals to me too. Is that where the best pencils are made?
