Book Recommendations from the Book Whisperer......

I have a theory, since every pot has a lid, every reader must have their perfect book. As a self proclaimed "book whisperer", my goal is to get the right book to the right kid!

I plan to update the book shelf on the right side of this blog often, but I need your help. Under this post, please write in your favorite book, what you are currently reading, or a book you read in the past that you think I should add to the shelf. Be sure to include a few sentences explaining why the book is worthy of going on the shelf. (A mini review)

Now, every time you are in need of a good read, you can check back to this site and see what everyone has to say.

Happy Reading!

What do you think?

For this blog to be successful, I am hoping you will post your "thinking" as you read this month's selection. After you read a couple of chapters, visit this site and share your inferences, predictions, and opinions. You can also comment on what other people have said. (Be sure that all comments are appropriate of course!)

All you have to do is click on COMMENT below any posting. Then click on the arrows next to COMMENT AS. You can scroll down to NAME/URL and just type in your name (forget the URL part). Then type your comments, questions, and thinking in the box labeled "Post a Comment". When you finish, click on the button POST COMMENT.

Check back often to see who has commented, including what I am writing!

Happy Reading!

Lemonade Wars

Publisher Comments:

Evan Treski is people-smart. He is good at talking with people, even grownups. His younger sister, Jessie, on the other hand, is math-smartbut not especially good at understanding people. She knows that feelings are her weakest subject. So when their lemonade war begins, there really is no telling who will winand even more important, if their fight will ever end.

Here is a clever blend of humor and math fun. As it captures the one-of-a-kind bond between brother and sister, this poignant novel subtly explores how arguments can escalate beyond anyones intent.

Review:

'The basics of economics take backseat to Evan and Jessie\'s realizations about themselves and their relationship. Davis . . . does a good job of showing the siblings\' strengths, flaws, and points of view in this engaging chapter book.'

Synopsis:

With a clever blend of humor and math fun, this funny, fresh, and poignant novel about competing lemonade stands captures the one-of-a-kind bond between brother and sister, and subtly explores how arguments can escalate beyond anyone's intent.
