The Incredible Dadventure and The Mumbelievable Challenge
An excellent selection for family road trips and a recommended purchase for medium and large collections.
Sting
Recommend that listeners read/hear Loot before launching into this sequel. For readers who like to live vicariously through kids who don't play by the rules.
Who Was?: Heroes of Black History
Though listeners will miss out on the many illustrations included in the print versions and might be uninterested in the long lists of dates that conclude each selection, these are solid introductions to the subjects and periods of history for a wide audience.
Lily and Dunkin
Listeners who enjoyed Jazz Jennings's Being Jazz or Holly Goldberg Sloan's Counting by 7s will appreciate this unique tale, a timely novel suitable for any middle school kid who feels different.
Fairest
Only libraries with high circulation of reimagined fairy tales should consider. ["Readers will enjoy the fairy-tale setting while identifying with the real-life problems of living in an appearance-obsessed society. A distinguished addition to any collection": SLJ 9/06 review of the HarperCollins book.]
