Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation Adapted by Ari Folman Illustrations by David Polonsky Thanks @lfla7 for recommending this for our upcoming lit circles! The life that Anne Frank shares with us in her diary has left a lasting mark on all of society. There are not enough thank yous and sorrys to tell her if we could. This is the perfect start for middle grade students to read about the horror that was the holocaust. Thank you to Ari and David for telling her story in a new way for more people to appreciate. #mrsrichardsreads #7thisthemiddleofthemiddle #yareads #middleschool #middleschool #biographies #annefrank #holocaust #RichardsReport #christmasbreakbooks #graphicnovels #diaryofannefrank #arifolman #davidpolonsky https://www.instagram.com/p/B69IXWspiym/?igshid=1nmrxsfy3c2jz

Mondays not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson This is a YA novel suited for mature middle schoolers or high school aged kids. People-do not ignore red flags. I couldn't put this book down. I needed to know what happened, even if my gut told me. I wanted the author to guide me through Claudia (the main character). Well written, page turning, heart wrenching. #mrsrichardsreads #yareads #RichardsReport #christmasbreakbooks #mondaysnotcoming #tiffanydjackson @writeinbk thanks for this book, you are inspiring. https://www.instagram.com/p/B64o1lolGGs/?igshid=18thcbs1twzjg

*Adult Fiction* The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena is as if Lifetime and Investigation Discovery wrote a book together. The detective in me both enjoyed it and figured it out too early....It's a good book for a quick vacation read, but a bit predictable for my taste. #books #RichardsReport #christmasbreakbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B63Nhlylpsp/?igshid=v3r0cusfdby7

Specials by Scott Westerfeld is the third in a YA Sci-Fi trilogy...or is it? If you've read, Ulgies and Pretties, this book does not disappoint. There were times when I thought I'd be upset in the ending, however Westerfeld quelled the unanswered questions that plagued me from book one. #mrsrichardsreads #christmasbreakbooks #RichardsReport #YA #yareads #readinginthemiddlegrades #7thisthemiddleofthemiddle #books #scifi #scottwesterfeld #uglies #pretties #specials @scott_westerfeld https://www.instagram.com/p/B6zOm2OlZ-O/?igshid=p343oicexoud

I picked up Anything Goes by Richard S. Wheeler thinking it would be reminiscent of one of my favorite musicals of the same title. While it was far from the laugh out loud musical, it did teach me a bit about Vaudeville in the late 1800s, something I previously knew nothing about. #mrsrichardsreads #christmasbreakbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B6dVYb-FLrQ/?igshid=r917nuopvnfz
