Notes from the Dog by Gary Paulsen is about two boys who befriend a woman suffering from breast cancer. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I thought that would be appropriate. As usual, Gary Paulsen didn't disappoint.
Ghost Boy by Iain Lawrence. Have you ever wanted to run away with the circus? That's just what Harold Kline does. He meets friends and animals that he will never forget. I don't think I'll forget them either.
Cloud Tea Monkeys by Mal Peet, Elspeth Graham, and Juan Wijngaard is a beautiful book about tea pickers in India. The illustrations are lovely and I've never quite read anything like it.
Vampire High by Douglas Rees is a fun read. What would it be like to go to a school for vampires? Cody doesn't like to do homework being accepted to Vlad Dracul Magnet School seems like a total win. Since vampires can't go swimming, all Cody has to do is be on the school's water polo team and he'll get straight A's. Great deal, right? Seems perfect, until he falls in love with the beautiful Ileana.
OK, 8 down, 92 to go!
