Books I Read this Past Week...

| Tears of a Tiger by Sharon M. Draper |
Tears of a Tiger by Sharon M. Draper (4 out of 5 stars)
Talk about a page turner! The book tells the story of Andy, whose friend dies tragically in a car crash (when Andy is driving). The book uses a mix of student conversations, newspaper articles, and school assignments to tell Andy's story of struggling to heal. This is book one of the Hazelwood High trilogy and I cannot wait to read the next one, Forged by Fire.
Hello, Bugs! by Smriti Prasadam (4 out of 5 stars)

Can I count this board book? Well, I am! Enjoyable little book. A good introduction to bugs for young kids. I loved the color design.

I had a student tear through Tears of a Tiger and Forged By Fire last year. She also enjoyed Bronx Masquerade.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading week!
My students love Tears of a Tiger and Forged by Fire, as well. It is a classroom favorite, and I use it in literature circles. I am glad to see the post about them! Happy reading this week!
