Ages 10+

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten- pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day, every day, digging holes: five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment—and redemption. ]]> 2018-09-03 02:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277208530 misty_pinieckisanchez https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277208659 Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the 🤬 soldiers marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated," Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family. Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life.]]> 2018-09-03 02:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277208659 misty_pinieckisanchez https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277208867 Jess Aarons' greatest ambition is to be the fastest runner in his grade. He's been practicing all summer and can't wait to see his classmates' faces when he beats them all. But on the first day of school, a new girl boldly crosses over to the boys' side and outruns everyone.

That's not a very promising beginning for a friendship, but Jess and Leslie Burke become inseparable. Together they create Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where the two of them reign as king and queen, and their imaginations set the only limits. ]]> 2018-09-03 02:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277208867 misty_pinieckisanchez https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277209738 Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by the Population Police. He's lived his entire life in hiding, and now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his family's farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside.

Then, one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he's met a shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows -- does Luke dare to become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford "not" to?]]> 2018-09-03 02:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277209738 misty_pinieckisanchez https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277209973 One cruel night, Meggie's father reads aloud from a book called INKHEART-- and an evil ruler escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. Suddenly, Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she has only read about in books. Meggie must learn to harness the magic that has conjured this nightmare.

Exhausted, terrified, and hungry, Brian struggles to find food and make a shelter for himself. He has no special knowledge of the woods, and he must find a new kind of awareness and patience as he meets each day's challenges. Is the water safe to drink? Are the berries he finds poisonous? 

Slowly, Brian learns to turn adversity to his advantage--an invading porcupine unexpectedly shows him how to make fire, a devastating tornado shows him how to retrieve supplies from the submerged airplane. Most of all, Brian leaves behind the self-pity he has felt about his predicament as he summons the courage to stay alive. ]]> 2018-09-03 02:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277210091 misty_pinieckisanchez https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277211382 Twelve-year-old Catherine just wants a normal life. Which is near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability. She's spent years trying to teach David the rules-from "a peach is not a funny-looking apple" to "keep your pants on in public"-in order to stop his embarrassing behaviors. But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a paraplegic boy, and Kristi, the next-door friend she's always wished for, it's her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and forces her to ask: What is normal?]]> 2018-09-03 02:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/misty_pinieckisanchez/eqj0nkawogpb/wish/277211382
