I haven't read Grasshopper Jungle yet, but I love Winger and Stick and they both have great voices. <br />Also, glad you enjoyed TFioS. It is one of those books that you sit in one sitting if you can. <br />I love that you went on a road trip with your mom--she seems awesome!<br /><br />Happy reading this week! :) Kellee Moye (@kelleemoye)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11912740016918990989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636018400386592533.post-9226835026956504022014-08-04T16:20:39.403-05:002014-08-04T16:20:39.403-05:00Queen Victoria's Bathing Machine!

I wanted to catalog so many more books than I had time for. Oh yeah, we cleaned out the entire library, teacher professional collection and university teacher resource center. I was exhausted the first eight weeks of summer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722301148509372483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636018400386592533.post-29634071237352838772014-08-04T07:58:38.223-05:002014-08-04T07:58:38.223-05:00My grown up son needed something to read so I sugg...My grown up son needed something to read so I suggested he flip through Grasshopper Jungle. He made a weird yelp noise and threw the book on my bed. He is such a book snob and reads mostly classical history and loves to rib me about YA fiction. We eventually come across something so brilliant that we both love it ex: Killer Angels by Michael Shaara.
