Novel: I am the Cheese by Robert Cormier
Picture book: Your favorite one by Kevin
Henkes
We had a great discussion about I Am the Cheese at our last meeting,
and all agreed that it is the best book we have read so far (after
The Book Thief!!)...and that even though it was published in
1977 it has withstood the test of time and is a true classic. We had fun
sharing Kevin Henkes picture books, and agreed that some were better than
others, and that we each had our absolute favorites.
We decided to take a bit of a summer break, since many people
had conflicts due to conferences, trips. etc.
