pick#lae3414sp19 This HF novel by Lauren Tarshis was recently introduced to me by the 3rd grader that I nanny. I have quickly become hooked on this series and frequently read them alongside her. Historical information is presented through a firsthand account of someone who is “there” during this monumental moment in history. Because the main character George is only 10, many children are fascinated by someone their age going through this experience.
I feel like I'm drowning in sadness for my country right now, so I've decided to find the one thing I can do each day to make a tiny difference for someone.
