This is a blog by a number of educators who love to read. We all work with children (between the five of us, we have over 100 years of teaching experience) and have a lot of knowledge about books that we would like to share with the world!
Come back often and visit our site to read our book reviews. Please comment on your teaching experiences with the books. Let us know about the students’ opinions of the books, what worked in your classroom … and what did not.
Thanks,

Violet Raines Almost Got Struck by Lighting
By Danette Haworth
I thought this book was great. I was hooked after the first paragragh. I would (and now have) recommend it to any student. My favorite line was “I am never too sweet to anybody” I laughed the whole way through at the witty and sarcastic lines of Violet. This book would be great for any preadolescent to adolescent person, I am sure it will emulate some aspect of their life.
