pickI‘ve had this book on my class shelves for years but never read it myself. It was a lovely story about community and hope. I loved seeing Marly‘s joy in everything she learned from the names of beautiful spring flowers to all about tapping trees for maple syrup.

I started this middle grade read today, and I think it‘s going to be perfect for December. It‘s been on my shelf a long time, but I‘m just now finally picking it up for the children‘s classic read with @TheBookHippie

It‘s been several years since I read Code Talkers, but it is still one of my favorite historical fiction books set during WWII. Grenade is about the Battle of Okinawa. The books on the right are nonfiction for middle grade readers.

so-soThis is an interesting piece of WWII history, but I was disappointed in the book itself. It seemed to skip over some key aspects of the initial Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands. The stories of the different people didn‘t make the impact I expected and felt somewhat disjointed. It may be even harder for young readers without any prior knowledge to follow the course of events.

This summer I had the opportunity to visit the Alaska Aviation Museum in Anchorage, and it includes an exhibit about the Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands during WWII. As I walked through it I realized I‘ve had this book in my class library shelf for a few years and never read it myself. I started it today during our seminar reading time.

pickThis was an enjoyable reread of a book I haven‘t read in several years. The idea of running away and hiding in a museum is a fun one, and there‘s a bit of a mystery for Claudia and Jamie to investigate as well.
It‘s also been a while since I spent a quiet Friday night with a book and cup of tea, and it was very much appreciated.

A couple of these might be a bit more #YA than #MiddleGrade, and I‘m not sure they all have ghosts, but this seemed as good a time as any to share my October recommendation shelf.
The tagged is my favorite spooky read to recommend. For a long time the reader doesn‘t know if it‘s a ghost story or if the main character is hallucinating.
