April's Book Choices!

Thanks for setting up the Zoom call, Sarah!  It was great to virtually check in with everyone!  I can't wait until we're able to get together in person.

Here are the book choices for April.  Please vote:



Hoot

Carl Hiaasen’s Hoot is an inspiring coming-of-age story filled with heroism, humor, and heart. When Roy, the new kid in Coconut Cove, Florida, learns of plans for a new restaurant to go up on the nesting site of some protected burrowing owls, he and a cast of quirky characters band together to stop its construction.














The Night Diary

A compelling historical novel about a young girl and her family displaced by the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan, Veera Hiranandani’s The Night Diary features relatable characters and heart-stopping drama delivered with a tender touch. A wonderful story for middle grade readers that young adults and grown-ups will enjoy reading, too.











The Seventh Most Important Thing

Shelley Pearsall’s The Seventh Most Important Thing is about a boy who unexpectedly befriends the neighborhood “junk man,” a character inspired by artist James Hampton, who shows him how broken things can be made beautiful, how very little is as it first seems, and how the same is often true of people, too.











I have the first two on hold at the library and am happy to check them out and disinfect and share.  The last one is an eBook only at the library and it's on hold right now.
