I hope you like Sparrow Road - definitely a different sort of book than Fuzzy Mud! I connected personally to Sparrow Road with moving a lot as a child and also being adopted and imagining who my natural parents were, as a young girl.DonnaGalantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936331145444649588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-69796780513895899742015-09-17T14:22:24.502-05:002015-09-17T14:22:24.502-05:00I read Fuzzy Mud last week and enjoyed it. It was ...I read Fuzzy Mud last week and enjoyed it. It was a fun, quick read. As an author who has penned an MG infection novel, I especially enjoyed the science behind the fuzzy mud. Marshall fell a little flat for me, but Tamaya was a lovable character and I was glad the focus stayed on her for most of the book. <br />Sachar compared the fuzzy mud to the growing overpopulation problem and I think that may have been his purpose for writing the book. It's something I think about often and it was well illustrated by the way Sachar described the growth rate of the ergonyms. Good stuff. And now I'm off to buy Sparrow Road!

My son especially likes moving books. For months he would go into the bookstore and ask 'Do you have anymore books like Wonder?" I remember the first time a book moved him. It was Tarzan and he read it on the couch all afternoon and when it ended he said "I didn't know it would end sad!" And then he started reading it all over again.DonnaGalantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936331145444649588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-57891540144203474932015-09-17T07:58:42.908-05:002015-09-17T07:58:42.908-05:00Thanks for sharing, Donna. it's great to hear ...Thanks for sharing, Donna. it's great to hear about books off my radar- and some certainly on it. My 11-yr-old was assigned The Mailbox by Audrey Shafer. It was not a book i would have chosen but I am so glad I read it. Really moving.eden unger bowditchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874537224610872095noreply@blogger.com
