What I'm Reading...

This blog is designed to share what I am reading.  As I finish reading chapter books that are appropriate for elementary students, I will write about them here.  Maybe something I read will spark your interest!

The Boy on Cinnamon Street by Phoebe Stone

When Louise, who changes her name to Thumbelina, finds a love note outside of her apartment door, she wonders if she may be having her first crush.  In The Boy on Cinnamon Street by Phoebe Stone (Lexile: 720; Interest Level: Grades 4-8), the pizza delivery boy is the likely candidate for the person who left the note.  As Thumbelina and her friend search out more information about the delivery boy, Louise is on the tip of remembering something about who she really is, deep down. 
 The main character navigates this strange world of romance and friendship, only to discover that it is more a journey of self discovery than a mystery of someone else.  I think readers will be surprised when they discover the secret that has been eluding Thumbelina, and they will love the solution of the mysterious note.  A 2015 Indian Paintbrush Nominee, this book will appeal to readers who enjoy a wry, sarcastic sense of humor as well as readers who are interested in real-life mysteries. (234 p.)

    One of the reasons I became an elementary school librarian is so I can read children's books.
