Middle School Is Worse Than Meatloaf by Jennifer Holm

What a great book! Ginny's entire year is "told through stuff." The reader gets to find out all about Ginny's first year in middle school by reading her emails, text messages, report cards, bank account statements and more. This is a visually stimulating and exciting version of a diary. Suggest this book to girl fans of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.

Guess Again! Guess Again! by Mac Barnett

This is such a funny book! I love unexpected, random books and I'm finding that Barnett writes this style very well! Parents will enjoy reading this one to their kids. Grades K-5
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a Wild Rumpus!



Our Wild Things party was a blast! I just wanted to thank all of you who came and made it possible! The Marion Star took some fabulous pictures. You can view them here. We have also posted some photos in the photo album on our website.

Clementine, The Talented Clementine, by Sara Pennypacker

Okay, so these are fairly old titles, but I have just finished listening to both audio books and let me tell you, HILARIOUS! Clementine is the funniest character I have come across since Ramona. She is such a smart little girl...always thinking and trying to figure out stuff, "Okay fine..." she is quite the ornery little girl. She is always getting herself into odd situations...for example, in the first book, within the first few chapters, she "helps" a classmate cut her hair. I laughed hysterically as I listened to these two books on CD and am starting Clementine's Letter this evening!
