SpRiNg InTo ReAdInG!!!
April showers bring May flowers and what better way to spend a rainy day than reading! I've been enjoying the 2015 literary award-winning books. I just finished Crossover by Kwame Alexander. If you love basketball or poetry or a really creative great read, you must read this book! It was this year's winner of the Newbery Medal and a Coretta Scott King Honor Award Winner.

My Life as a Book
One of the coolest things about this book is that the author's 15-year-old son is the illustrator!

From Norvelt to Nowhere
From Norvelt to Nowhere by Jack Gantos
If you liked the Newbery Winner, Dead End in Norvelt, you will love this sequel! After an explosion and a new crime by an old crook Jack finds himself on a mission that takes him hundreds of miles away, escorting his slightly mental elderly mentor, Miss Volker, on her relentless pursuit of the oddest of outlaws.
I loved every page of this book!

El Deafo
El Deafo by Cece Bell
Newbery Honor 2015
This is the first autobiographical graphic novel that I've ever read, and it was SO good. Graphic novels aren't usually my favorite genre, but this one is exceptional. Cece Bell was born able to hear, but a brief illness at the age of 4 left her "severely to profoundly" deaf. This book tells about her very personal experiences and feelings during the years of her childhood. I've also discovered that Cece is the author of several picture books. Watch for those to arrive in the libary soon! Don't miss the note from the author at the end of El Deafo.
