| Anonymous: | I just finished The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick,2007. I loved it! Hugo Cabret is a young boy- "orphan, clock keeper, and thief". He lives within the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. He meets an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man, and events puts his undercover life and his most precious secrets in jeopardy. The story is a mystery created around a cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father. The book is a combination of picture book, graphic novel, and film! It is very nicely done, and although I didn't think I would like it at all, I was pleasantly surprised. This book is being considered for the 2008 KBA, Grades 3-5 List of Nominees. Feel free to comment as to its appropriateness for the list... | | Terri Kirk: | I added a new page so you'll have to look there to see my two books that I've just finished. Twilight by Meyer and Wild Roses by Caletti. Just look for the page that says "Terri's books". | | Michelle Lemmon: | Thanks, Melissa, for affording me the opportunity to participate in a Wiki! I've just finished reading Lunch Money (2005) by Andrew Clements for the purpose of the KBA 3-5 Nominee list for 2008. As usual for Mr. Clements, it was great. Perfect for boys and girls in 4th or 5th grade. The gist of it is that Greg Kenton, beginning 6th grader, learns that money isn't everything and that he might actually like his neighbor, Maura (a beginning 6th grade girl), more that he thought. |
