pick2/52: Criss Cross
I thought this book was incredibly charming. It really shows how life is as a teenager without love and drama. The pictures in the book really added to the story. Despite a lot of negative opinions on it, I couldn‘t put this book down.

pickI am baffled as to why this is rated so low on Goodreads. It really is a great book about kids who are stuck between the age of wanting to be close to their parents and wanting to become individuals and how their paths cross. It was written with a subtle humor, and I found myself giggling nearly every chapter. #NewberyEpicChallenge
pickI fell in love with this mellow book. A band of childhood friends enjoyed a summer of hanging out, learning how to drive, meeting new people, helping neighbors. There was no plot centered around drugs or gangs or sex. Just doing what real teens should be doing - growing up with close friends.

Cross Cross by Lynne Rae Perkins
...And Now Miguel by Joseph Krumgold
pickA book with all-around good kids that you don't notice much at the front and center. They are true and believable and we peek into their lives at their most self-conscious stage. Narrated by Debbie who wants something big fto happen, and Hector who feels like he is unfinished. They spend the summer discovering selves, their changes, and each other. No big dramatic moments, but just some very real teens here. Some funny moments. #NewberyChallenge
Hotel room reading on a Friday night. Visiting college and competing in Junior Olympics for fencing 🤺 for son. So might as well continue on my #NewberyChallenge
A Newbery Award winning, RF novel about 14 year old Debbie and her wish that something would happen to her. I‘d like this story in my classroom best as independent reading. Essay writing and other lesson plans below!

pickI love books like this where you get to spend a lot of time in the character's heads. A+!
