Then I reminded myself, I am not the intended audience. I think it will be very doable for middle grade students.Melissa Guerrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998443860177371314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095886925905729539.post-40830033143157968122014-08-18T21:59:19.191-04:002014-08-18T21:59:19.191-04:00Hermelin was really cute.

Her characters will pull your son in and he'll feel like HE is the one doing the rescuing!<br /><br />As much as I appreciate A River of Words, I'm not sure my students will. It takes time to find appreciation for the talent in that kind of book. I'm looking forward to Roget, too!Melissa Guerrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998443860177371314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095886925905729539.post-54945474149943477032014-08-18T18:31:59.685-04:002014-08-18T18:31:59.685-04:00I'm starting A Million Ways Home this week too...I'm starting A Million Ways Home this week too and I have Nest waiting for me.

Off to order! I agree with you about A River of Words. I haven't been able to spread the love for that book in my Children's Lit class, however. My college students always call it "boring"--which entirely mystifies me. I need to find another way to share the book because it's one I want them to be enthusiastic about! Can't wait for Jen Bryant's and Melissa Sweet's new PB bio of Roget.
