We loved this book. As a librarian myself, we see so many Froggy’s in the library even at the high school level and that’s OK! It is great for kids to be excited to visit their library; there is always something for everyone! Libraries should be a lively place, I think it is important to […]

Summer of My German Soldier by Bette Greene
May 12, 2016 by ·
Summer of my German Soldier is one of my favorite books of all time. This book transcends so many aspects of the human soul and what it means to love unconditionally. It has been a favorite for decades and is more profound every time I read it.

Letter from Ally: Dear Readers, I think most of us have had our hearts broken. Sometimes we can see it coming, and sometimes it comes down with the unexpected force of a sudden gale of wind or a rising of waters that we thought were still and safe. Loss is universal to […]

March 27, 2016 by ·
There is not a book out there that is funnier, sillier, and more empowering than Hamster Princess for young readers. Of Mice and Magic is Magic, I cannot get enough of Harriet Hamsterbone. In this retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, our warrior princess, “slays” the Mouse King and breaks the curse! It is marvelous! […]

An enchantingly rich re-imagining of Aladdin, I enjoyed every single word.
I am Amelia Earhart (Ordinary People Change the World) by Brad Meltzer
February 17, 2016 by ·
This book is my favorite in the whole series so far. The book teaches a valuable lesson to chase your dreams, not matter what anybody tells you. It tells you about what Amelia went through as a child and as an adult.
