The WImpy Kid series definitely is amazing! I read it with one of my clients in clinic last semester, and I ended up liking it as much as she did, but what I really LOVED was that it changed her attitude towards reading!
ReplyDeleteI actually met Sara Zarr today at ALA. She was so very sweet. I got the ARC of her new book, so I'll be reviewing it at some point.
I hope to have my Faves of 2011 list up by tomorrow or Tuesday...after I finish my dreadful graduate class!
P.S. Thank you for the compliment on my blog design. My boyfriend was actually surprised that I chose something so girly!
