pick3 ⭐This is a sequel to a book I loved. Nell Gumbling is about the small town of Gumbling and the inhabitants within. In the first book Nell and her friends were trying to save their town. In the second book they‘re going away for a weeklong summer camping camp. The winners get these amazing jackets. But first Nell and her friends are going to have to handle changes in their friendship and how people can change as they grow up.
“It‘s not what you look like on the outside, it‘s who you are on the inside that counts.”
I would use this book to teach the therese‘s of self love and acceptance, as it is a theme every child faces in life. It teaches children to embrace their differences and learn to love themselves.

pickShould we be judged on the worst thing we have ever done? Twelve-year-old Alex has been. When he goes to fulfill his court ordered punishment of working at a nursing home, he finds each Resident has a story to share. The beauty of Gayle Forman's story is the depth she gives to each character, from a retired opera star to a Holocaust survivor. This is a book of connection and hope.
pickMs Kelly knows how to write a tale. These characters are sympathetic and become even more thoughtful as the story progresses. The love of knowledge and commitment of the girls towards the cranes was inspiring and the adults were mature and did not treat the girls with condescension. This is a must read author.
Just for fun, this week is numbers in titles! This new one from Ben Guterson will appeal to fans of his well-loved Winterhouse series- it's set in a department store with secrets instead of a hotel. What others can you think of for #middlegrademonday?
