Last Week's Reads
Audio version -- love the varying perspectives of this realistic story about a teacher who breaks the mold and how he changes his students for the better
ARC copy - publishes in September
Great middle school story line, but fans of DQ may already be too old
Great combo of graphic novel and traditional book filled with laughter and adventure. My 7 year old son loved it!
Worth reading a bit to get hooked on book 2 of The Raven Cycle!
Due out mid September 2013
#Summerthrowdown continues....
I'll be reading a lot this week, I hope!
My stacks of books have grown this summer thanks to friends, ALA, library shipments and nErDcampBC, so I'll be reading whatever strikes my fancy. :)
Happy reading!
I promised my just barely eight year old nephew a new book (or I should say my sister ... cause he whipped through Captain Underpants). I keep wavering between Frankie Pickle and Melvin Beederman.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little jealous you have Dream Thieves. I must show patience. ;)
NetGalley has it!
DeleteRob Buyea (Because of Mr. Terupt) came to my school as a guest speaker last year. He was fantastic for middle schoolers!

Coffee Cups and Lesson Plans
Really looking forward to reading The Real Boy. I just love that title. I don't know how I could have forgotten about The Dream Thieves. it's my next Net Galley read. I just downloaded it for my lunch-break read. I must get "That is Not a Good Idea" I am such a Mo Willems fan and I suppose many students are too because there are the number one books to go missing off my book shelves.

ReplyDeleteWe read "This is not a good idea" and loved it. The ending has a surprise twist and kids simply love it!

The Murdock looks vaguely interesting. You've been busy!
ReplyDeleteI love the variety you have here. I am very interested in Because of Mr. Terrupt. Have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you loved what you read this week! They all look great. Love Mo Willems's book- it is so clever! And I hope to get to The Real Boy very soon. As I haven't read Raven Boys yet, I can't read Dream Thieves, but all the hype makes me want to read Raven Boys even more.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week :)
I would love to get my hands on a copy of The Real Boy. Everyone who loved Breadcrumbs says it is even better--which is a tall order in my book....
ReplyDeleteEdelweiss has e-galleys for download
DeleteI keep meaning to read Because of Mr. Terupt based on a Nerdy Book Club earlier. I have the Raven Boys on audio waiting for me. Your reading week looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'll be hopefully starting Breadcrumbs after finishing Eleanor & Park and I can't wait to get my hands on The Real Boy. I wasn't that impressed with This is Not a Good Idea!
ReplyDeleteI adored Breadcrumbs and liked Real Boy. I really appreciate the humor of Mo Willems.
