I featured At the Same Moment Around the World a few months ago and had so much fun reading it. I've been reading so many good reviews about Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda - I will have to find it soonest.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-87688003150551364282015-09-29T11:48:04.851-07:002015-09-29T11:48:04.851-07:00This is the first I've heard of Island Treasur...This is the first I've heard of Island Treasures, but I'll definitely check it out now. I love the cover. I read Simon Vs. the homo Sapiens agenda this week too and enjoyed it quite a bit as well. I've been interested in The Thing about Jellyfish since it was shortlisted for the NBA, but I haven't been able to find a copy of it in my area yet. I totally agree with you about Little Kunoichi. Not a whole lot there, but what is there is super cute!Hannahlilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322474845421670267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-60822090168140128752015-09-29T06:40:19.170-07:002015-09-29T06:40:19.170-07:00I really enjoyed Simon as well.

It is starting to feel like I am the last one to read this book. I love a good muddle through high school story. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the push to post about Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain. I always take longer to review PD texts because there are so many places to take the review. I have two more chapters, and then I'll hop to it. It is quite interesting, and there is much to share!<br /><br />I hope you have a fantastic week!Ricki Ginsberg at Unleashing Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086548238873957327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-19846939515933805442015-09-28T19:39:25.777-07:002015-09-28T19:39:25.777-07:00Simon was a much lighter book than I was expecting...Simon was a much lighter book than I was expecting. I found it entertaining, but am sort of surprised at the NBA longlist. The writing is well done, but didn't stand out for me as distinguished. It's true audio can make a huge difference so you may enjoy it more on the page.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-64350978090052452152015-09-28T19:36:02.462-07:002015-09-28T19:36:02.462-07:00I need to purchase Wait for my school library.I need to purchase Wait for my school library.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-90250434067579417422015-09-28T19:35:27.928-07:002015-09-28T19:35:27.928-07:00Yes, and Jellyfish shows that bullying is not alwa...Yes, and Jellyfish shows that bullying is not always the big physically intimidating person stealing lunch money.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-70600327023185570752015-09-28T11:04:10.489-07:002015-09-28T11:04:10.489-07:00Nice assortment of books.

I have Alma Flor Ida's book on my list, love her stories, & will get to it! Thanks for the picture books, too, Crystal. I loved Wait, wish everyone could read that one.

Girls can be so mean :( I thought Benjamin did a great job of having a character that was complex, dealing with tough situations.<br />Wait was wonderful :)Michele Knotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087579707297009719noreply@blogger.com
