#TBRtemptation post 3! This middle-grade story from the Newberry Medalist follows 12-year-old Cammie O'Reilly. She lives in Hancock County Prison, not as a prisoner but as the warden's daughter. Her mother had died saving her life when she was a baby, and now, about to to turn 13, she most wants a mom. So, she'll search through the prison for a mother--maybe not the best place to do so, but she'll work with it. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
Making my way through this month's middle grade book club books.
#TBRtemptation post! Now this is an interestingly premised children's book! Cammie is daughter of Hancock County Prison's warden. When not in school, she spends her days hanging out there with the women prisoners. Why? Well, she's coming up to her 13th birthday & she's searching for a mother figure (hers died protecting her when she was a baby). Prison might not be the best place to look, but it can surprise. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
I had to specifically ask for this one at the Random House booth. She said she would go check and see if they had any. I was lucky enough to get one, and realized today as I look at it that it's signed! Omg, score! 😍
I used to have this conversation with my parents but in reverse. I REFUSED to eat scrapple. My argument became stronger when I read the ingredients (something they had apparently never done before? They just knew it was a thing we eat, no questions asked.)
