tammyw Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) ETA: This would be for kids :) I just finished this one, and really enjoyed it. It's about what might happen if the country ran out of gasoline. Crunch, by Leslie Connor. As a side-note, has anyone read her other book, Waiting for Normal? Wondering if I should get that as well. http://www.amazon.com/Crunch-Leslie-Connor/dp/0061692344/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340389080&sr=8-1&keywords=crunch Edited June 22, 2012 by tammyw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth in MN Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It's fiction and I LOVED it - "A Discovery of Witches" by Deborah Harkness. It's light and fluffy but deep and meaningful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 For kids, right? Confining myself to books with read aloud possibility from the last few years... Savvy Scumble The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland The Search for Wondla Wonderstruck The Invention of Hugo Cabret Mr. and Mrs. Bunny The Flint Heart A Tale Dark and Grimm One Crazy Summer Penderwicks series The Magician's Elephant Where the Mountain Meets the Moon There's more... there are a lot of good read alouds from the last five years...

Yes, kids :) I should have clarified. We've read most of those also! Not One Crazy Summer or Mr. and Mrs. Bunny yet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesmere Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 If you mean K-8, I've been wondering about The Secret of the Ginger Mice (or The Song of the Winns) by Frances Watts. I picked it up (yes, just because it was pretty) and so far, so good but I haven't finished. And it has been at the bottom of the pile since I know we're at least a year away from being ready for it as a read aloud and longer for independent reading. It was recently published in the U.S. but I think it had been out in Australia for longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
