speaking of awesome middle grade reads...Hey Robin,<br /><br />speaking of awesome middle grade reads...have you read Rebecca Stead's 'When You Reach Me' yet? I know it is getting crazy mad pre-newbery hype, but I have to say I really did love it and I suspect you might as well. It is a realistic family and friendship story with a time travel mystery thrown in set in 1970s New York City. Great 'Wrinkle in Time' references and wonderful characters. We have it at the library so come on by and check it out.<br /><br />-Carminecarminettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14631413198844765923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975400686202118630.post-31988985443395408532009-07-28T08:11:32.536-07:002009-07-28T08:11:32.536-07:00I haven't read a book myself in awhile.

I have to say your synopsis has me hooked and when I'm done I might pass it along to my 9 year old niece.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
