It's been a wonderful year of reading! Some of my favorites from this year are:
Okay for Now by Gary D. Schmitt - amazing as only Gary Schmitt can be!! Em otional, literary, funny, and fabulous storytelling.
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys - the finest in historical fiction w riting. Lena and her family are sent to endure the cold and starvation of a Siberian work camp in 1941.
Divergent by Veronica Roth - fabulous new voice in science fiction. Kids w ho loved Hunger Games are eating this up!
Blood Red Road (Dustlands, #1) by Moira Young - Wonderful dystopian novel revealing the depths of family loyalty and the bonds of friendship.
Stupid Fast by Geoff Herbach - favorite sports novel of the year. It's stu pid good!
Chime by Frannie Billingsly - Beautifully written, with wonderful character s. You'll be "enchanted!"
I'll Be There by Holly Goldberg Sloan - Wonderful saga of family, friendshi p and love. The best quirky characters every-- I totally fell in love with this book!

Jersey Tomatoes are the Best by Maria Padian - Fabulous friendship novel b etween two girls struggling with very different issues.
