Curl up, get cozy, and LOVE THAT DOG.

Have you read this book before? My birthday is in April so every several years it sometimes falls on Easter Sunday. One year that happened and when I was at my aunt’s house she gave me this book and I remember being blown away by it.

As someone who had a lot of grief in their heart from lost pets, this book gave me an outlet for that and shows so beautifully what happens when we open ourselves up. I’ve read it over and over again, so you can tell I highly recommend it 😋

Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

My rating: 5 of 5 stars If you've known me since I was a little girl you might know about my affinity for this book, because despite what my goodreads says this is actually my 4th reread of this absolutely gorgeous novel. This book was first read to me in 5th grade by my teacher at the time. I remember it all very clearly, about her talking about how the book had impacted her, and how the kids around me didn't pay enough attention. I was transfixed, and I'm pretty sure that out of my whole private school class, I was the one to lay my head down and cry during the ending.    That first reading really cemented what this book meant to me, and what it still means to me. I really don't think that if I had discovered it any other way that it would've made such an impact.    The second and third times I read this book, were both through audiobook. In fact I loved this book so much I begged my poor dad to buy me an audible subscription just so I could listen to Walk Two Moons over and over. I have a memory of being just a kid with bad insomnia and being unable to sleep, so I listened to the audiobook all night while sorting beads on the floor of my room. Salamanca's story the only thing to keep me company.    All that being said, and this being my only time actually reading and looking at the words of this book, and I couldn't be happier to be doing so. Reading the book is a very different but still wonderful experience. And sometimes when Grams says "Huzza Huzza" I can hear it in my head the exact same way the person reading the audiobook said it. This book is a wonderful exploration of themes of love and loss, for younger readers and older readers alike. And while I love this book to death, I dont recommend it for purely selfish reasons, I want it for myself. View all my reviews

REAL OH MY GOD SO REAL

it was called The Boy on The Porch by Sharon Creech and personally, my favorite book ever

okay story time

so when i was in elementary, there was this UIL thing where you had a group of five or so kids read 3 or 4 books, and then you answered questions about the books in a competition, and it was called Battle Of The Books.

when we went to the competitions, the teacher chaperones always took us to lunch at Whataburger, and the first time it went great, i got a burger and a large chocolate milkshake for like 8 bucks (i brought 20)

but the second time i went, i only brought 10, and i couldn’t get lunch, and then this super nice construction worker guy bought my lunch for me and it actually meant the world to me at the time, even though i could barely muster a thank you for the guy

but The Boy On The Porch was one of the books we had to read for the competition, and I fell in love with it so fast. actually one of the first books i ever read that made me cry

Nobody understands the bond between a girl and the mediocre book she read when she was 13 years old.

Books with “C” Authors I Own and and Need to Read Part 6

*need to get book 1 ^_^’

[heyteenbookshey]

I decided to restart this blog because I had gotten back into reading YA

But I tripped backwards and have read 6 middle grade novels in the past few weeks? Oh my god I'm loving it???? They are are so good?????? They are creative and use words efficiently and are so right for my attention span???????

If you're curious (because apparently I don't review books anymore) here's what I've read:

Monday's Not Coming by Tiffany Jackson (4/5 eeeee I didn't know middle grade could still go this intense!!!)

So B. It by Sarah Weeks (A classic for a reason, I love when books have ONE fantastical element like Heidi's luckiness 4/5)

Soof by Sarah Weeks (A So B. It sequel, kind of! This lacked the charm and heart of it's original, not impressed 2.5/5)

Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech (I love Sharon Creech and hadn't read this yet! It was okay, I don't see why it's so widely read in schools but I am neither a middle school teacher or a middle schooler 3.5/5)

Bloomability by Sharon Creech (This was my favorite book in fifth grade! I was a drama drenched kid and searched "kidnapped" in the school library catalog and this came up, but the "kidnapping" was Dinnie's aunt and uncle taking her to an American boarding school in Switzerland and she has such fun adventures and grows so much 4.5/5)

When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead (500/5 WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW do you ever read something and get mad because you'll never write anything this good??)

Do you want to see full reviews of any of these? Reply if you do! I know it's not heymiddlegradehey but that's what's happening right now!

"How about a story? Spin us a yarn." Instantly, Phoebe Winterbottom came to mind. "I could tell you an extensively strange story," I warned. "Oh, good!" Gram said. "Delicious!" And that is how I happened to tell them about Phoebe, her disappearing mother, and the lunatic. As Sal entertains her grandparents with Phoebe's outrageous story, her own story begins to unfold — the story of a thirteen-year-old girl whose only wish is to be reunited with her missing mother. In her own award-winning style, Sharon Creech intricately weaves together two tales, one funny, one bittersweet, to create a heartwarming, compelling, and utterly moving story of love, loss, and the complexity of human emotion.
