How does Dan Gemeinhart do it, book after book after book?? This is another absolute page-turning high-stakes adventure that is bursting with incredible characters! Once again, he had me crying on one page, then howling with laughter the next. This one would make such a fun class read-aloud!

SCATTERGOOD is absolutely marvelous - set in rural Iowa during WWII, in and around the real Scattergood hostel for refugees. Peggy is a magnificent and REAL character, and this story was just perfect - warm, sad, funny, excellent setting. Historical fiction at its very best. @hmbouwman.bsky.social

BOOK RECOMMENDATION! A spare novel in verse that packs a big punch, story- and character-wise. An intriguing premise, about a girl who’s destined to be a 4th generation fire-spotter, having grown up - living with and learning from her Mom and Grandma - at the top of a fire tower deep in the woods.

BOOK RECOMMENDATION! A beautifully-written, edge-of-your-seat verse novel about a town trying to rebuild and move forward after devastating fires destroy everything - absolutely essential for helping kids understand wildfires and our human impact on the natural world. @baronchrisbaron.bsky.social

Got to check out a super cool bookstore last night - Book Vault in Oskaloosa, IA! And we had a really strong turnout for my event - school events before a night book party always mean kids will show up wanting to know more - and I love seeing them a second time!!
