We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
I loved the illustrations in Migrant. The story was too difficult for my son to understand, but I thought it could lead to great discussions in the classroom. I loved the PB bio of Edward Hopper--really a superb book. Will be interested in your response to We Were Liars. I found it very frustrating but seems like most readers found it powerful and important.
ReplyDeleteThe Edward Hopper book looks intriguing - as does Migrant. You remind me that I need to get back to adding picture books to my reading diet, Beth.
ReplyDeleteReally interested in reading Migrant!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to see Migrant here. I really enjoyed that title and look forward to sharing it with my class this year. I just stated El Deafo and would like everything to stop so I could curl in a corner and just read! Loving it so far
ReplyDeleteWhen you finish Liars you'll have to let me know how it worked as an audio. That could be interesting! That was a good book... and I bet I read it so quickly I missed a lot. It would be a good reread!
ReplyDeleteMigrant sounds like the perfect book for me. I did see this one featured in Brainpickings.org - and was described as somewhat like a strange Alice in Wonderland. Will definitely be on the lookout for it.
