I am so jealous. I read Hope was Here to my class (6th grade) last year. They were captivated. Even my ADHD students listened. (They didn't sit still, but I didn't expect that.) Small Steps is a sequel of sorts to Holes. I call it a spin-off. You met Joan Bauer! I am so jealous. I read Hope was Here to my class (6th grade) last year. They were captivated.

Mallory did all the "Wayside School" books when she was little but I'm sure it was me who got the biggest kick out of them. Even when she fell asleep to them I would continue to read, laughing all the way. I met Joan Bauer a few years ago when she was promoting <i>Hope Was Here</i> and as an adolescent book I truly liked it. Hope is a good character that I believe (but I could be wrong) she was patterning after herself a bit. Hope the A/C did you right. BadRabbit - Yes, Willems is fab. <i>Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!</i> is the first I recall reading of his. I'm going to find the book on Edwina now because the title is too cute to pass up.

Gotta love all the pigeon books. Also got Knuffle Bunny, Leonardo-The Terrible Monster, and Edwina-The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct.

If you liked The High Power of Lucky (I did!), you might enjoy Louis Sachar's Small Steps. I loved it, and my 6th grade class enjoyed it when I read it aloud. have you read any of Joan Bauer's young adult novels? Hope Was Here is wonderful. It's too hot and muggy to weed my garden today, so I'll stay inside the A/C and read. Add a good coffee (hot or iced) alongside that peach, and I’m in ecstacy.

I've lied to my 5-year-old nephew before - answering his question a certain way just to let him laugh and smile. Enjoy California! I would say that’s a forgivable sin.
