Junebug

Junebug is a good for anyone that likes stories about kids living in the city. Junebug, his mom, his Aunt Jolita, and his sister live in an apartment in a rough part of the city. Junebug enjoys collecting bottles and his dream is to get bottle messages from people in other places. You should read it.

Fabulous read aloud

This is a great book to read out loud to students. The writing is lyrical and poignant. This is an excellent book to use for discussion of literary elements as well as discussing character and personal choices. My students loved it.
