The Kite Runner (Paperback) by Khaled Hosseini |
my rating:
|

Jennifer said:
"Heartbreaking story of Kabul. The story line is a bit unbelievable in that the protagonist just happens to meet his childhood bully as an adult. Otherwise, it is painfully believable.

So B. It (Paperback) by Sarah Weeks bookshelves: young-adult |
my rating:

Jennifer said:
"Tender, but unbelievable search for identity. I think the author was a little lazy to make things like money and bus tickets fall into place based on the idea of the girl having luck.

"Our librarian gave me this one to read. UGH. How could it be on a middle school shelf? Great for a 3-4 grade level perhaps. stereotypical representation of all science loving people being geeky.

"I found this one offensive. Obviously, intended for young audiences with a message about diversity, I think instead it encourages stereotyping.

"I found this book to be touching, but fairly low level for my sixth graders. I would not include it in a suggested list for them. It is about a diverse community coming together through gardenign.
