Just For The Summer
by Abby Jimenez
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book was a lot more emotionally fraught than I expected it to be. Jimenez handled discussions of grief and parental abuse well, and while I disagreed with the FMC’s actions, I was still able to empathize. The author consulted many nurses and therapists while writing the book and it shows in the depth of understanding and empathy given to the characters.

If you like baseball, you'll love this story. Between Joey's Italian family, which revolve all events around food - and Bobbi's family, that own a llama farm, these two young kids find they have more common that they realize. A funny and serious book for middle grade readers.

Sarah's books are filled with humor and mystery. Nothing creepy... but gets you thinking. And of course, the setting of these dilemmas are based in a wonderful bakery in Eastport, Maine.

The Sisters

book cover


An infinitely readable family saga centering around the magnetic three sisters of a Swedish-Tunisian family and the curse that invades their lives. I loved the structure of this book (very important given the 600+ pages) and the way it drew you into the story of the immigrant experience and inescapable bonds of family, loss and love. Highly recommend.

Smile: A Graphic Novel
by Raina Telgemeier

book cover


This is my first graphic novel. While I liked the story about Raina's life as a teenager - so many things that adults and current middle schoolers can relate to - I would rather have read this book as a chapter book.
