It's been a marvelous year sharing stories with you. Here's our top picks for 2016, part 2!
I first heard about The War That Saved My Life on The Children’s War blog. I am so happy I had a chance to read it. The characters in the book really come to life... Read Lizzy's full review
I have wanted to read The Eighth Day by Dianne K. Salerni since I first heard about it. Maybe it's because I've thought a lot about having an extra day in the week. That would be excellent! I could get so much done on that day and even catch up on sleep! Read Lizzy's full review
Stay tuned! We have lots of great books in store for 2017! See you all around the book block. ;)

It's been a marvelous year sharing stories with you, and this week we're spotlighting our top picks for 2016! Catch the buzz on these great books...
Will's Words by Jane Sutcliffe is such a cool book. Not only is
it interesting to find out how many terms William Shakespeare came up
with, BUT the added bonus of locating him in every magnificent
illustration is extremely entertaining. Watch out, Waldo!
I recommend Soldier to anyone who likes to celebrate what makes
us each unique and those who understand that creating a better world
starts with personal acts of kindness.
Happy New Year! This week, we'll be spotlighting our favorite stories from 2016. Stop by Wednesday and Friday to find out what books should be in your bag. ; ) ~ DMS

You won't see her, though she'll let you know, she'll be back again one day.
Clackety, clack, clack. Clackety, clack, clack. Where does Ruby go?
