Lulu dreams of being on Broadway and even lives in the Shubert Theatre, because she is a mouse. This middle-grade novel gives an inside look into what it takes to put on a show with smart, sassy, and fun characters. Kids will love Lulu!

If you are looking for a deeper understanding of the Bible beyond scripture, spend just 15 minutes a day. It‘s a great Bible Study for a small group as well.

Dreams of Falling | Karen White

Another favorite quote:
“A thick crackling sound came from inside her chest, like that of stepping on a frozen puddle in the middle of winter and shattering its surface. She felt suspended in time, somehow, as if this all weren't happening,
or had already happened to someone else.”

A truly beautiful story of the past (1950s) and the present! 4⭐️s!

Finished this in a panic because I had to know what happened but I was shaking the whole time. A bit intense at times for me, but still a good suspenseful story! I‘m glad the kitty on my lap kept me calm!

One of the more interesting articles of history in this book. They don't look like a fun crowd anyway. Who'd want to touch their lips?!?!?! If you like history and or are an Iowan, check out this book!

This book is reminding me that being grateful is the key to daily happiness. It's so easy to focus on the negative in any situation but Kaplan shares how to find the good in everything. It's a great read so far!
