I love Courtney! Glad she's got a new one coming out!
I just read ALSO KNOWN AS HARPER last week and I loved it. It is the perfect choice for the Middle Grade reader who likes stories about real issues in the world. Ann Haywood Leal is an author to watch.
Melissa: POSITIVELY is great! Thank you for always commenting on these posts. :)
Shelf Elf: It was enjoyable.
Thanks for the shout-out, Little Willow, and for the sweet comment, Melissa -- you guys made my day!
My girl loves CHARLIE AND LOLA!

I enjoyed reading The Plain Janes. It was my first graphic novel! Well, if not counting the Calvin & Hobbes' comics...
