Recent Reads

Some of the books that I’ve been reading lately are found in the Junior Fiction section of the library. One that really appealed to me was Witness by Karen Hesse. It’s written in an interesting format. Each character is given a page or two to make comments before another character chimes in on the action. The setting is a Vermont town that has been “invaded” by the Klu Klux Klan. The main characters are a young black girl and a little Jewish girl.


Other books I’ve read recently:

• Birth Marked
• The Mountain that Touched the Moon
•  Closed for the Season
