There's a special place in my heart for The Small Adventure of Popeye an Elvis by Barbara O'Connor and for Love, Aubrey by Suzanne LaFleur.<br /><br />I love, love. love, no, strike that, adore, adore, adore Lion and Mouse. While I loved Marcelo in the Real World, I loved Going Bovine more.<br /><br />BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-41379804591402939232010-01-16T11:26:31.892-06:002010-01-16T11:26:31.892-06:00Abby-I'm not sure if the buzz will help or hur...Abby-I'm not sure if the buzz will help or hurt When You Reach Me. It could go either way. <br /><br />Natalie-LOVE Lips Touch-it needs an award for sure.<br /><br />Wrighty-Thanks! We'll see if I get any right. And that's exciting your nephews loved The Lion and the Mouse-it's such a great book.<br /><br />Penniee-I'd love to know your thoughts on When You Reach Me. <br /><br />Katie-I think Wintergirls and If I Stay will be on the list too. My copy of Marcelo hasn't moved much either. It seems more like a book written for adults with a young character.<br /><br />Jill-Yeah, somtimes they are out of the blue. I always like the surprises!<br /><br />Lenore-I can read it over and over again too.

I know "Marcelo" got great buzz and is probably a fabulous book, but my teens have never checked it out.

I considered keeping it for myself but decided to share it with my 5 and 10 year-old nephews. They love it too. I haven't read the other books you've mentioned but I'll be looking for them now. They sound great!
