needrecommendations

I'm constantly reminded that books come to me at certain points in my life for a reason. I've always wanted to become a teacher but fear and insecurity has held me back for years. After reading Rock Bottom Girl, I'm convinced again that teaching is what I should be doing. Does anyone have any recommendations of similar books where the main character chose to become a teacher later in life? #needrecommendations #teacher #goals #dreams

TheBookgeekFrau I've also noticed this magic of books; I'm firmly convinced the universe speaks to us through books 😁 6y

I_Like_Big_Books @C.Perone Totally agree! 6y

Lynnsoprano I don‘t know of any other books, but I can tell you, as someone who became a teacher in her 40s, that it was one of the best decisions I ever made. 6y

I_Like_Big_Books @Lynnsoprano That‘s exactly what I needed to hear! 💞 Thank you! (edited) 6y

The Serpent's Secret (Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond #1) | Sayantani DasGupta

I'm on a quest to find some appropriate audiobooks for a road trip with my nieces (8 and 11) in July. I want something exciting/interesting for both of them. The older one loves fantasy (she's making her way through HP atm), but the younger of the 2 can be sensitive with monsters, ghosts, etc. I've got a couple ideas, but will be previewing the content ahead of time just in case. Any recommendations???

Cinfhen Maybe @Lmstraubie or @LibrarianRyan can offer some suggestions ??!?!? 6y

glitterkitty459 I haven't listened to this one on audio but how about

Wildwood

LibrarianRyan @Cinfhen thx. Bun ocular is fun. The dog thinks the bunny is a vampire but it‘s not graphic. The color is being drained from veggies. Really cute. For some laughs try Clementine. If you can find it The Secrets of Droon. And The Spiderwick chronicles. Check out Cornelia Funke. She has some early chapter fantasy that would read well for the 2 but still be interesting to the 12. Or Inkheart (which is a bit dry in the middle). Red wall. The Warriors. 6y

LibrarianRyan Zoo at the edge of the world (I may not have that exactly correct). Menangie. Cabinet of curiosities. The secret zoo. Sorry if my titles and spelling g may be a little off. 6y

ravenlee Chris Grabenstein‘s Lemoncello Library series is really fun (but I didn‘t do the audio version). No ghosts or monsters, but lots of kids who love to read. And if they like realistic fiction, the Penderwicks series by Jeanne Birdsall is all about sisters. (edited) 6y

sherryvdh @LibrarianRyan Omg so many great rec's in there! Thanks Ryan! @ravenlee @glitterkitty459 thank you! I have so much to look at now! 💕 6y

LibrarianRyan @ravenlee I second Ravenlee. Also Book Scavenger, and I just finished To night owl from Dig fish and LOVED IT 6y

Cinfhen I knew @LibrarianRyan would have recs for you!!!!!! She‘s awesomesauce 💕 6y

CoffeeK8 If you need something for filler. My kids (9 & 3) love the Wow in the world podcast. Science and humor from PBS 6y

sherryvdh @CoffeeK8 Interesting! I'll definitely look into that. My 6 year old might like it too. (Though he's not coming in the car with us. I'm always looking for new content for him.) 6y

sherryvdh @Cinfhen Thanks Cindy. She's pretty fantastic! 6y

Lmstraubie I'd have to add Matilda by Roald Dahl narrated by Kate Winslet (she was fantastic!) and the Wizard of Oz narrated by Anne Hathaway (also fantastic) 6y
