The two books you reviewed sound terrific. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-1662051250443182892012-06-15T17:51:09.281-04:002012-06-15T17:51:09.281-04:00I'm revamping my 5th grade classroom library, ...I'm revamping my 5th grade classroom library, so I've been trying to slurp down lots of MG that I'm behind on reading.
