		<title>Sparrow Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has to be one of the &#8220;cutest&#8221; books I have ready recently.  My nephew who is 3 labeled it as a &#8220;girl book&#8221; because of the cover, and he is probably right. It features a young girl dealing with her mother&#8217;s rash decision to move away from their home for the summer to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Kneebone Boy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I had predicted 100 different ways that The Kneebone Boy might have ended, I still wouldn&#8217;t have come close to the actual ending.  This book, the most recent by Ellen Potter, is the story of an adventure of the Hardscrabble children. To say that these children are strange might be an understatement. The oldest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Speak about Banned Books Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In honor of Banned Books Week and a controversy brewing in Missouri, I read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.  While I have been familiar with Anderson for some time, I had never read this book.  It is a powerful book that deals with a delicate subject.  The main character, Melinda, is dealing with a rape [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Crossroads</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I stayed up too late reading The Crossroads by Chris Grabenstein.  This is one of several new books that arrived in the library last week.  I don&#8217; t remember what prompted me to put the book on my list to order, but I am glad I did.  This is a unique ghost story [...]]]></description>

		<title>After Ever After</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first book of the school year is one of the best that I&#8217;ve read all summer.  After Ever After by Jordan Sonnenblick focuses on the 8th grade year of two cancer survivors.  They each have their struggles hanging around from series of chemotherapy and radiation.  Jeff has a limp and struggles with math, while [...]]]></description>

		<title>Edward Tulane</title>

		<title>The end of summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I think about going back to school, I begin to get excited because I am ready to recommend some of the great books I&#8217;ve read throughout the summer.  At the same time, I&#8217;m a little saddened because the beginning of school means that my late night reading adventures will have to end.  I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer Reading&#8211;the downhill slide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, here we are with barely two weeks left of summer vacation. I&#8217;ve read through over 50 books this summer working towards my goal of 61.  I&#8217;m afraid that my reading speed might be slowing down. The past few books I have picked up have not pulled me in the way that some of the [...]]]></description>
