Caterpillar Summer by Gillian McDunn


This charming book is about a young girl named Cat.  She has a special needs brother who requires a lot of attention and most of her time to manage.  He tends to run off and get lost.  He is oblivious to the danger.  
Cat and her brother, Chicken, get dropped off at their grandparents' house one summer.  It's different than anything they have experienced because their grandparents live on an island.  They have never met their grandparents before, and it's hard for Cat to get close to them. 
I will not give the ending away, but this book is a good read.  It's a 2020-2021 Bluebonnet Book.  It's AR reading level is 3.8.  Sweet, pure innocence is a good way to describe this book.

A Wolf called Wander by Rosanne Parry

Bluebonnet 2020-2021

Rife with details of the myriad scents, sounds, tastes, touches, and sights in Swift/Wander’s primal existence, the immediacy of his intimate, first-person, present-tense narration proves deeply moving. A sympathetic, compelling introduction to wolves from the perspective of one wolf and his memorable journey.

Becoming by Michelle Obama


Being a Republican, I found this book very interesting.  I was surprised after I read it. Somehow, I was able to connect to her.  I now see her in a different light.
