pickI found this for $8 at Indigo years ago and had zero expectations. The cover was eerie and drew me in. Maltman paints an emotional image of small town rural life, struck by tragedy. A father trying to understand his son‘s actions. A pastor‘s wife trying to find her place. A town guided by traditions and keeping secrets. Mixing in folklore and Norse Mythology, Maltman creates a tense story interwoven with mystery and beauty.

I‘m trying something new by making a summer reads pile! So these are my picks for June and July. Will this work out? Probably not… but these are the books that I‘ve been itching to pick up and for some reason never do. So once I finish my current read, I‘ll be picking away at this!
First up is the tagged book: Little Wolves
pickIf you are a baseball fan, you are going to like this novel. Joe Castle was hit in the head with a baseball. Life changes for both the Warren Tracey and Joe Castle after that incident. I liked Warren‘s son Paul and the story behind the life of the two men. 4/5 ⭐️
pickRead this for my kids. Really cool story, and would definitely recommend!
pickThis tribute to Jerry Pinkney is just what I needed. A powerful & beautiful, expression of grief to be shared, loved and adored.
I think this book could be an excellent introduction for children to nature and animals in the woods. This book also contains the tough topic of grief and while I wouldn‘t do it a whole group lesson it may be important for a specific child to hear.
pickThe serendipity of baseball and aging engulfs this short narrative about an estranged father and son that reads like a Vin Scully anecdote between pitches of an at bat. Grisham‘s story won‘t change your life, but - like a good ball game - makes for a nice couple of hours.
