were interested in the title for their boy's book club. I'm glad I did as I started this on the reading retreat. If you find this by Matthew Baker (March, 2015): I received this in the mail right before we left for our trip and I, of course, stuffed in my already stuffed book bag. What 100 pieces of your life do you hold dear? Five stars, reading retreat.Ħ. It was a great story and has all of us comtemplating what brings us joy. A hundred pieces of me by Lucy Dillon (2014): This is the one that I read all the way to Arkansas, through the afternoon bluegrass fest, and then on to Greers Ferry. If anyone knows how to get this accomplished please let me know.ĥ. She never answered and my young readers are a little disappointed. I included Lu in a tweet asking if we could visit with her via twitter or any other social media just to talk and ask a couple of questions. I read this with my 6th grade book club at school and wanted to do something interactive socially with them. The twists and turns in this one were surprising and I liked hearing more about the collapse of the U.S. Prodigy by Marie Lu (2013): The second in the exciting series with Day, the rebel, and June, the once elite turned rebel, escape to the Rebels and then escape again away from the Rebels. In the middle of their grief a young boy shows up and needs Circa's help as well. They are religious and have help in their church family + a neighborhood family steps up to really help out. Circa's mom suffers from depression and isn't good in some social situations.
Circa Now by Amber McRee Turner (2014): Interesting story about grief as Circa and her mom learn to live without her dad, the glue that was holding the whole family together. I liked what this book had to say to young adults it's okay to be out there, be you no matter what. They both have very different experiences while away from home and mixing with other campers.
Lockhart (2007):Two outspoken Ohio teenagers bond at school and then head to summer drama camp at a nearby college. Some of it I liked (Bobby story made an impact with me) and some of it did not fit or felt forced. A place at the table by Susan Rebecca White (2013): Interesting story that involves a unique cafe and 3 very separate characters who come together.
