After Ever After by Jordan Sonnenblick is on this year's DCF list. Suggested for mature readers in 6th grade or older, I thought it s subject matter might resonate with several of our students. But first, I realized, I had to read Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie, the book where the author first introduces one of the main characters. Wow- Sonnenblick really knows how to write characters you care about! These two books made me laugh out loud and cry- sometimes at the same time.
