Center of Everything

The Center of Everything by Linda Urban
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think I will like this book more if I reread it. The beginning was really slow for me and frustrating. My favorite parts of the story really didn't have much to do with the plot. I loved the library scenes and love kids (characters ) like Nero. Possible Newbery contender for 2014 based on unique storytelling elements. This book is a good, clean story for upper elementary students. Most likely girls will like this one.

Freaky Fast Frankie Joe by Lutricia Clifton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A strong contender for Bluebonnet award. Students will be able to relate easily to Frankie. Like the Texas tie-in as well.
