Wondering what books my students are reading- and what fun places they've found to read? What's your favorite place to read in the summer? Post a comment below and let me know...
First night at Mount Norris Boy Scout Camp with my son and his troop. Finally snuggled up in my sleeping bag, I have a stack of books to read. In my "to read" pile are: Belly Up, about a hippo murdered at a zoo; Stuck on Earth, about a snail-like alien who takes control of a human to experience "typical human behavior;" and Star in the Forest, about a girl who befriends a stray dog while waiting to see if her dad will make it back to the US from Mexico. After setting up camp today, hiking all over the scout reservation to meet all the merit badge teachers and taking a swimming test, I'm pretty tired; but I am still enjoying the delicious possibilities of a stack of good books. Since it's summer camp, I think I'll start with a summer book: Touch Blue, about Tess, who lives on a small island in Maine struggling to keep its doors open after a family moves away. If the school closes, Tess will have to move to- and leave everything she loves behind. But the islanders have a plan: increase the numbers of students by having several families take in foster children. So now Tess and her family are taking a chance on Aaron, a thirteen-year-old trumpet player who has been bounced from home to home. Will things work out for Tess, Aaron and the island school? I'll let you know what I think of the book when I'm done- but I won't tell what happens!

Ruby likes to read under a tree. Maggie likes to read in her back yard. Haris likes to read in his bed.
