If I could recommend a not yet read from your list it would be The Meaning of Maggie - a really great MG read. Thanks for checking in Linda!
I agree with Carrie! It was on my list this year and I read it earlier this summer. Maggie has a great middle grade voice. A bit edgy, so more for older MG readers.
You're welcome, Carrie, I'll be sure to find The Meaning of Maggie! Happy reading and start to your year!
Thanks, Michelle, with two of you recommending the title, I now have to read it!
I really enjoyed Wolf Wilder and am going to read Rooftoppers at some point during the upcoming school year. I will also have to find Maggie at some point having read these comments. Thanks for the great list!
You're welcome, Aaron! I loved both of Katherine Rundell's books!
Hi Linda, Meaning of Maggie is a book that resonated deeply with me. It's an important read because it was a mirror for me, but it makes a profound window into the world of families who live with chronic illness. Here is my blog post about it. https://dickenslibrary.blogspot.ca/2015/02/the-meaning-of-maggie-by-megan-jean.html
I'll look at your review, Cheriee. It seems I'd better read this book! Thank you!
I wish more people would read The Meaning of Maggie! Sad Poets and March, too!
Of all the ones you haven't read yet, I enjoyed Most Dangerous the most. I love Sheinkin's way of writing riveting nonfiction. I enjoyed The Meaning of Maggie to a certain degree, but I had some issues with it so I'm not as excited about that one as others, but it was okay.
I do love Sheinkin's work too, & will get to it someday. Thanks, Crystal for your view of The Meaning of Maggie, too.
