I have ordered it and Soccer Star from my library because I had to get my hands on them after your endorsement.

I loved We Were Liars and I also love how much readers are NOT spoiling the story for others. You can't say much about it without giving things a way. I think that adds to the intrigue! I really enjoyed The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. It's like a love letter written to book lovers. :) Have a great reading week! ~Megan<br />http://wp.me/zUn5Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-86030861163696092312014-08-04T12:46:57.021-07:002014-08-04T12:46:57.021-07:00I'm convinced now, too.

Between the reviews coming out of nErDcamp and what you've added here, Michele, it sounds like exactly the kind of historical base that will capture students' attention. Curious also to see how it will fit alongside Kirby Larson's Dash (also featuring a MC in a Japanese internment camp)--or if it will?Melissa Guerrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998443860177371314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-90475665176011152892014-08-04T08:21:21.794-07:002014-08-04T08:21:21.794-07:00Great list!

As for Night of the Twisters, that is one that I remember strongly from reading at a kid - we don't get many tornadoes here in WI but still some. I had a kid last year who loved storm stories, but our library didn't have this one anymore.Katie TheLogonautshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992719352402255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-32309988967447956482014-08-04T06:52:46.764-07:002014-08-04T06:52:46.764-07:00I'll really be interested in finding Gaijin: ...I'll really be interested in finding Gaijin: American Prisoner of War-looks like one to add to our library, Michele.

Thanks for the reminder btw, I had stacked up my week's TBR pile and forgot I needed to read The Night Gardener. I have to wait until just before #virtualbookclub or else I tend to forget my books or blur them with other favorites. This is going to be one of the best book chats we have ever had.
