Book Review – Feathers
The winter of 1971 is a season of changes and growing pains for Frannie Wright-Barnes. Everything becomes complicated when a white boy transfers to her class, bringing in his wake a series of questions about hope, belonging, what she really believes in.
And then, just before the lunch bell rang, he walked into the classroom. Stepped through that door white and softly as the snow.

Show & Tell – Book A Day in May
I’m working my way through a personal challenge to read one book every day in May. This, of course, works best if I pick shorter books. So far, I’ve had pretty great luck with finding some amazing lower middle grade books.
To date, I’ve read:
- Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman
- The Castle in the Attic by Elizabeth Winthrop
- The Fish in Room 11 by Heather Dyer
- Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson
- Wishes, Kisses, and Pigs by Betsy Hearne
- Clementine by Sara Pennypacker
Question of the Day: What are your favorite lower middle grade stories or chapter books?
