Rose by Holly Webb

How would you know if you were special?  Mr. Fountain's grand mansion is a world away from the dark orphanage Rose has left behind.  The gleaming, golden house is practically overflowing with sparkling magic - she can feel it.  And though Rose has always wanted to be an ordinary girl with an ordinary life, she realizes she may possess a little bit of magic herself.

Superfudge (Fudge #3) by Judy Blume

 

This is the first time I've read a book from the "Fudge" series.  You can't help but fall in love with the characters.  My class and I enjoyed this book very much!
