Wonder
“For August “Auggie” Pullman, being treated as an ordinary kid would be his greatest wish, but his facial deformity makes ordinary seem like an extraordinary feat. A beautiful humanistic portrayal of courage in the face of adversity and how friendship and acts of kindness really are powerful and wondrous. I couldn’t stop reading this book!
Turtle in Paradise
A touching historical fiction book told from the perspective of spunky 11-year-old “Turtle”. As Turtle's mother takes on a new job that will not allow children, she is sent to live with her family in Florida, who she does not know. When Turtle arrives she is convinced that she will not like anything about Florida or her family. As Turtle discovers, her adventure is just beginning and nothing is quite what it seems.
