Looking for Bobowicz: A Hoboken Chicken Story | Daniel Pinkwater, Jill Pinkwater
post image
Pickpick

Nick's parents have sold their house in the suburbs and moved into the heart of Hoboken so he can experience urban culture. Luckily, Nick makes friends with two kids who live in the apartment next door. They spend the summer looking for the Phantom, who sometimes leaves odd gifts for people, and trying to find out more about a giant chicken who rampaged through the city years ago. Super fun sequel to The Hoboken Chicken Emergency.

LeslieO I used to read Summer Reading is Killing Me by Jon Scieszka to my 4th graders, which starts with the Hoboken Chicken, so I would recommend the original to them, but I never knew it was a series! 2d
TheSpineView Awesome! 2d

Twelve-year-old Elizabeth is sent to spend the summer with her distracted, scholarly aunt at a Scottish manor house and finds herself mysteriously able to interact with the 18th-century family who once lived there.

“Time-slip” stories were a huge childhood favourite of mine and this 1975 novel is such a good addition to the genre.

elkeOriginal Sounds delightful! 2w

I'm fortunate that I can listen to audiobooks while I work. It makes the day so much more enjoyable. Comfort is the second in a series, and my only five star this week. The Tale of Despereaux is a three star read All the rest are four stars.

4✨ This is the last book in the trilogy and it is heartbreaking! Anything that could happen to an elephant happens to poor little Ruby. She finds a bit of herself in a celebration. Loved each book in this series. #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

Every March, my county library system hosts a community read. This year‘s theme is food and the tagged book is the MG selection. I loved watching CiCi adjust to life in America through a cooking contest. Seeing her grow, learning to trust and make friends, and discover how to honor her Taiwanese heritage, was heartwarming.

I‘m not sure what pushed me to read this book this week. Saturday I was sitting upstairs getting ready for a baby shower when I saw it sitting on my shelf and just had the urge to read it.
I must say, for going into this book blind (I got it from my sister) it‘s going pretty well and I‘m enjoying it more than I thought I would considering the plot.

Powerful middle grade. This was a buddy read with my 6th grader. Themes of bereavement, alcohol abuse, homelessness, bullying, and financial insecurity are all heavy topics but portrayed in a way that didn't sugarcoat any of it and will leave young readers to feel "seen" and "understood" but characters that may have similar circumstances to themselves.

Sigh. There is all.the.reasons. why I keep rereading these 40 some books on repeat over the years. It's simply like spending time with the best of friends in all of their highs and lows. Each time, I connect to something different and it amazes me. Can't wait for our next book club discussion of I Promise (College Years #3). ♥️
