A huge thank-you goes to...

...Mrs. Moulder and her awesome seventh graders! This was my final Anderson booktalk (boo-hoo!) and what a fabulous audience I had!! A special thanks to everyone who took a chance and hosted me to visit the past three years. I have had such a great time and learned so much (usually in the teachers' lounge!) The books I covered at South Side include:

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne

What Happened to Cass McBride? by Gail Giles

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer

Full Tilt by Neal Shusterman

Thanks again!! See you June 1st for Summer Reading!!
