Only just got two of our three copies I lent to teachers for the summer (who then didn't even read them 😢) back so I still have to see what they think. How funny that I see your post and you read Coral Reefs as I'm watching an old Shark Week ep that I DVRed this summer. I DO sort of like spooky. Sort of. So I will have to look up Thelma Bee. When I finish Jonathan Stroud's The Empty Grave because that's the last one, too! And Serafina #3 because I didn't get to it this week. Lots of after school meetings and then one afternoon/evening "adventure" with a dead car battery. And NO KINDLE WITH ME! #therealtragedyMs. Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961883284227010403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-85466423947816810022017-09-14T07:44:15.246-07:002017-09-14T07:44:15.246-07:00I agree with you about Jesse Eisenberg's narra...I agree with you about Jesse Eisenberg's narration. The right narrator can really enhance a book. <br />Canning and processing all these tomatoes has taken me back to my childhood when we used to work together as an extended family to process all kinds of fruits and vegetables for the winter.

I've made jam before but that's about the extent of my capacity to preserve. I well remember my mother's marathon preserving days when I was little though. I made it about halfway through The Girl Who Drank the Moon and then I just... lost interest. It's beautifully written but I struggled to find reading momentum to keep going forward. Jabari Jumps is one I ended up having to own. I want to share it with all my classes, even the ones that have nothing to do with Children's Lit! White Cat was a treat too--I really like Jesse Eisenberg's narration on the audiobook.

I stated with One Native Life. It's autobiographical and in spite of being a hard read, is brilliantly optimistic. Indian Horse is a really hard read, kind of like bearing witness to the hell indigenous people have been through. I would suggest the other one first, but maybe that's because One Native Life is what I hope for all survivors.
