Another DCF but I couldn't get into this one. Apparently the third book in a series and it realy felt I needed to have read the first two. And chunks of the writing were just confusing or over reaching the target audience.
Oh well...

to: About a Boy (Hardcover)byNick Hornby bookshelves: fiction,
humor,
movies-i-saw-first
I think if I had read this book before I saw the movie, it might end up in my top ten favorites of all time. As it stands, I actually find the movie ending a little bit stronger. While the characters are obviously more fleshed out here, the movie portrayals resonate so strongly, it is hard NOT picturing the actors and specific scenes as I read them.

Another DCF nominee but also the first of a series, which I did not know. Essentially a glorified comic book (for $9!) that I got at our local library.
Very cute and lots of mystery but some scary undertones.

Another DCF nominee. This is a "companion" to Shusterman's last DCF nominated book "The Schwa Was Here". Enjoyabloe read with a few good messages for your 4th to 7th grader.

Christian's review of
Transfer Of Power (Mitch Rapp, #1) byVince Flynn
I think I can do that for you. Doesn't your library do Inter Library Loans?

to: Knucklehead: Tall Tales and Almost True Stories of Growing up Scieszka (Paperback)byJon Scieszka bookshelves: kids-books
If you like the works of Jon Scieszka, then this slim accounting of his life is right up your alley. Very tongue in cheek and very funny, but very slight overall. I am not the target audience for this DCF nominated book but it was worth the 30 minutes or so it took me to read it.
