THE best dog behavior book ever! Looks at the interaction between humans and canines from both ends of the leash.

Haunting, beautifully written book about Germany just prior to and at beginning of WW2. The life of Lisle, The Book Thief, is observed by Death through surprisingly compassionate eyes. I loved this book!

Great voice, and interesting characters. Can see why it won the Newbery!

A really fun book about a girl genius and the wonders of friends.

Thought provoking story on slavery from an interesting angle: black slave owners. Beautifully written, although hard to follow at times.

Starts out great but kind of fizzles in the end.
Still, an accessible book about depression.
