I‘m intrigued by this charming book taking place in #Brazil. Samuel is a young boy and has no place to live so he takes refuge in the hollow head of a statue. He quickly discovers that he can hear the villagers whispering their prayers to the statue and he begins giving advise back to them. This brings him some celebrity, but as we all know #momoneymoproblems...

In what is a dramatic departure from our area we got our second “snow” this year (technically piles of ice, but I‘m calling it snow). Finished the book I started last night and now to this.
Edit* I finished and highly recommend this book. I loved it. It was a pretty quick read with lovable characters and an interesting story.
pickI felt like I was reading an traditionally oral interpretation of family lore. It was very intimate and I loved it. #theheadifthesaint #socorroacioli #basset #litsyAtoZ #letterH #dogdays #sickdays #yafiction #yalit #teenfiction #teenliterature #greencovers #lore #tradition #brazil #storytelling
pickThis is a really cute, short read. I had a lot of fun reading this to distract me from homework that I should've been doing.
