One of the things I regretted last summer was that I wasn't more in touch with the books selected for the Summer Reading program. So I decided as soon as the list was given to us that I would read as many books as I could so that I'd be better prepared for recommending them to our patrons. This is w...
Short is a super cute children's book that I think a lot of kids can relate too. Its funny, has a great theme and perfect for theater kids. The main character, Julia is very short and starts to get mad at the world, especially when her mom makes her try out for the Wizard of Oz and she's cast as a m...

I didn't connect to this book like I really wanted to. I think the one thing that really made me distance myself was that the author used full names for the characters. Like "Bobby Ellis", "Tim Bell", "Debbie Bell" How can you connect with characters when I feel like I'm reading a report. Tim Bell l...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: a nice ensemble piece that shows you can build a family from disparate people, as long as there's love and acceptance; but the story is undermined somewhat by the fact that all the actors (even the flawed ones) are al...
