I love summer vacation! That is when I get to read all the wonderful books I have come across over the school year. I always keep a list of books my students and friends have recommended.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins YA
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins YA (Second book of the Hunger Games)
(Anxiously awaiting the third in the series due in August)
Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen (his most recent book)
The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan
Hard Gold: The Colorado Gold Rush, 1859: A Tale of the Old West by Avi
Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg by Rodman Philbrick (2009 Newbery Honor winner)

Just finished a wonderful book by one of my favorite authors, Gloria Whelan. This inspiring historical fiction/mystery book, After the Train, takes place ten years after the WWII in Germany. The Nazi's are gone but anti-Semitic feelings run high. Thirteen-year-old Peter Liebig discovers a mysterious letter hidden by his parents that take him on a journey of discovery. AR 5.3, Middle Grade+ 5th-8th
