I hope you love Ella Enchanted as much as I did.<br /><br />Natalie and Joanne, thank you for the recommendations. I'll check them out.<br /><br />Brooke, I loved The Book Thief. I don't think I've ever recommended it on here because I read it before I started blogging, but it's one of the most inspiring books I've ever read.<br /><br />And Barbara, thanks for agreeing with me and for being my 200th follower!Myrna Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534358757278599925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254062323787738480.post-83176140872476199562011-05-04T16:54:46.677-07:002011-05-04T16:54:46.677-07:00Did this come out recently, then?

Your assessment that it's for upper end MG into YA is right on (in fact, it's shelved in YA in my library). <br /><br />As a lover (and writer) of MG historical fiction, this book teaches about a little discussed topic in history and covers prejudice in a beautiful manner - opening readers eyes to what we say, how we think, and how we behave.Barbara Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547166495514562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254062323787738480.post-40504019040644915642011-05-02T12:33:33.198-07:002011-05-02T12:33:33.198-07:00Nice review, Myrna.

Glad to hear you loved it so much.<br /><br />Most inspiring? I've read so many this year that it's hard to pick just one. Probably The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate.Joanne R.

When I saw the book you wrote about today, I stopped reading - only because I'm 3/4's of the way through it myself and didn't want anything to influence my reading of it! Likely I'll be MMGM'ing it soon (but maybe not since you already did). Margi Preus appears at a local (to me) kid's bookstore in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to meeting her.Barbara Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547166495514562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254062323787738480.post-86164726122063910032011-05-02T08:11:17.279-07:002011-05-02T08:11:17.279-07:00Yes on Shannon being our founding mother!
