Great stuff! What else can I say:)
Thanks Jim!
Oh, I know what else: Wonder, in my opinion, is one of the best books I’ve read. It’s truly top 10-ever:)
Hi Jim,
I loved Wonder too and R.J. Palacio is such a warm and wonderful person! My daughter and I were lucky to meet her at an Understanding Our Differences Event a few years ago.
Ooh excellent taste. I love several of these!
Hi MaryAnne,
I love these obscure book awards!
As always, this is a great list. We have read Wonder and loved it. Definitely going to check out some of the others. Thank you!
Thanks so much Stacie! I love those lesser known book awards to see what makes it; older favorites and new discoveries!
This a great list. Have read quite a few of the books. Loved Wonder. Thanks for such a great list.
Thanks Patricia! I loved Wonder too! I hope R.J. Palacio is working on a new book!
Oh another great list, I will have to pin this one for future reference. You know, I have started reading Wonder, but I was sobbing by the first chapter. I think it is because I have worked with children with facial deformities. I have been too close to their struggle to separate fiction, so alas I will have had to put that one down for a spell. Thanks so much for hosting the Kid Lit Blog Hop.
Thanks so much Julie. We loved Wonder so much! I have to say that I ALWAYS cry at the end but in a good way! I can see why you would be sensitive to Auggie’s plight in the first chapter. Thanks as well for hosting the Kid Lit Blog Hop! My favorite blog hop!
Yay! Thank you for collecting these here. We have enjoyed many of these titles, so I’m eager to explore the rest — I’m sure we’ll like them, based on your recommendation!
Hi Aubrey,
Thank you so much for your kind words! You totally brightened my day today!
Oh, yay! So glad I could spread some love. 🙂
Thanks Aubrey!
These are all new to me! I need to add them to my library reading list. Thank you so much for linking this wonderful post up to The Sunday Showcase.
I’m glad you are finding some books for J Daniel 4! Thanks so much for hosting The Sunday Showcase!
