It's just a wonderful book to read as an adult.

Visiting the lake and watching loons with her as well as experiencing the insightfulness of the photo contest, this book is so rich. Loved meeting you. Sending hugs across the miles for your sweetness.

I thought I had read Margaret's book, but sadly have not - it's something I mean to fix right away!

Many of my pre-service teachers read Rules and love it, so I'm excited about handing them Half a Chance when they finish. I have read so many good reviews of Gabrielle Zevin's book. I am planning to get it for my mom for Xmas--and then I can borrow and read too!!Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-21694978262423155022014-11-24T09:10:50.203-05:002014-11-24T09:10:50.203-05:00These all sound like good books!
