So Much to Tell You | John Marsden

pick

I‘m processing my sadness over the passing of John Marsden by revisiting his brilliant books, starting with his debut.

I remember my grade 5 teacher reading this to the class and I‘ve read it several times since. Even though I know what happens I‘m still completely absorbed.

I‘ve gotten something a little different from it each time.

Butterfinger I don't think I know him. I have to look him up. I bet you feel the same way I did when Gary Paulsen died. 1w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Butterfinger, he‘s best known for the Tomorrow, When The War Began series. I‘m not sure if he‘s super well known outside of Australia beyond that. He was a brilliant storyteller (mostly writing MG & YA but he branched into adult fiction and NF in more recent years) and passionate educator - he founded his own primary school in regional Victoria.

Butterfinger No, I have read him. The group of teens who were in the Outback when their town was taken. Yes, I read the first one for a challenge and continued the season 1w

Butterfinger The series. It was so good. 1w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Butterfinger, not the outback but you are thinking of the right series. I read them as a teen and just flew through them. There‘s a follow up trilogy called The Ellie Chronicles which was also excellent. (edited) 1w

willaful his most memorable for me.

Letters from the Inside

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @willaful, that one is on my tbr stack! I‘m sure I‘ve read but it‘s been awhile! 1w

Rissreadswithcats Let me know when you are going to read I can‘t remember if I‘ve read it or not.

Letters from the Inside

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreadswithcats, I‘ve got the ebook so I‘m ready at any time… do you have a copy? 1w

Rissreadswithcats I have one in my school library and I‘m back on the 23rd. Ok to wait until then? 1w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreadswithcats, sounds perfect! 1w

The Labors of Hercules Beal | Gary D. Schmidt

pick

I really enjoyed this contemporary MG novel about a boy running a family greenhouse with his older brother after the death of their parents. His teacher assigns a project in which he must relate events & tasks in his own life to the 12 labors of Hercules. There‘s a lot of mythological information and an amazing setting on Cape Cod alongside a story of the importance of found family (including pets) and community connection.

Forest Hills Bootleg Society | Nicole Goux, Dave Baker

pick

A group of friends hatch a plan to buy fashionable coats and take on selling bootleg anime dvds at school. This is a weird one but definitely worth a read. I loved the somewhat random notes we get throughout that add flavor to the characters or to the world around them. The focus on religion didn‘t resonate with me but I‘m sure it will with some readers. #Comics #LGBTQIA

This 90s/2000s-inspired anime spread is an absolute delight. I‘m pretty sure I know most of these 😆 #Nostalgia #Anime

I Walk with Vanessa: A Picture Book Story About a Simple Act of Kindness | Kerasco�t

Doing a unit about respect and having the kindergartners read to me. This book amazed them. We talked about who in our school should talk to the bad boy so he can turn in the same direction as the other kids on the last page.
