The Best Book I read in MARCH was...

[Jemima]

I nearly posted this on April 1st, but thought I'd wait a few days. Big mistake!

Anyway, what did you read in March that you think we should take note of?

Dang. Can you remember March? I'll have to check my lists...
I'll declare a tie between Wolf Hollow

I can't remember yesterday at the moment.

My favourite read in March was One Day and One Amazing Morning on Orange Street by Joanne Rocklin. Lovely prose, interesting setting, well-developed characters (one dealing with the onset of Alzheimer’s though this is not the focus of the story), and a grand, old orange tree that touches everyone’s lives in one way or another. Contemporary, realistic MG exploring secrets, friendship/family and community.

I can relate. My body is still in shock; school resumed after 2 weeks off (my son was on a trip the week before spring break), and I got into very bad habits of sleeping late. Now I'm trying to re-adjust. So far, it ain't pretty!
