I read 3 great books over the Thanksgiving holidays and I'd love to
HIGHLY recommend them to you.
1) The Midnight Train Home by Erika Tamar.
Story of a family of 3 torn apart when their mother gives them up
and they are place on the Orphan Train. Main character is an 11-
year-old girl with gumption and courage.
2) Walking to the Bus-Rider Blues by Harriette Gillem Robinet.
I could not put this book down. A story of a courageous young
boy during the Montgomery bus boycott. Inspiring treatment of his
adherence to non-violence, determination, and hopes for his future.
This is a life-changing book! One of the best I've ever read. I'm
putting this on my list with Charlotte's Web, Summer of My
German Soldier, and The Hundred Dresses!!
3) Love You, Soldier by Amy Hest
Only 88 pages, reading level 2-4th grade. Written in the first
person, a story of a young girl whose father has gone off to World
War II. Though it is short and relatively easy reading, the
characters are well-drawn and the story has depth and emotion.
I hit the jackpot - checked out three books and loved them all!
