Yes, another book blog post. Sorry! Once I made it through Cellophane, the reading has just come so much easier. I don’t expect I’ll slow down since I’ve got two Harper Collins review books to read plus a bunch of A to Z list books due back to the library this month. So you non-readers just hang tight for a bit longer. (What do you want me to blog about that isn’t related to books? I’ll take requests, just this once. Carmen, don’t say ELFF Diet, I’m getting to that – I swear!)
So, about Anna Casey’s Place in the World it’s juvenile fiction (not even young adult fiction) and I have no idea how it landed in my ClubMom library bag. Did it win a Cybil? Did sassymonkey blog it? Did TW pick it up from the shelf while we were wandering around the stacks? Who knows, my library reading list is always a bit of a mystery and that’s ok.
The book was nice. A “problem book” but not an overwhelming problem book. There was a surprise involving Eb at the very end. I did not expect that. If you have a 10 year old reading the book, and your 10 year old is a sensitive being, you might want to read it first (or drop me an email and I’ll tell you what happens).
I love the neighborhood. I want to live in that neighborhood, homeless dudes and all! Does that neighborhood exist in the USA? If it does, are there any really big houses for sale?

For once I can say it wasn’t me! And I don’t think it won a cybil, the Maiden book did…maybe it was long-listed?
I think it was a tw with kids at library book.
