I am falling behind on my reading a little, due to reading more adult books. I haven’t been seeing many children’s fiction books that grab me. So, if you have some suggestions, please share.
This month’s selection intrigued me with the format of the book. It is a little lower level than expected, but the interaction between characters is well done, and it handles the subject sensitively and passionately. A family deals with the inescapable reality of cancer. It seems to me that we can’t go out anymore without hearing that someone we know has cancer. Several people in the past year have faced it, so this feels appropriate.
