Harvey

From time to time I read a book that completely blows my mind. This is one of those books. Harvey is a children's graphic novel which deals with the subject of the death of a close family member through the eyes of a child. The brown pencil illustrations are the perfect compliment to the text, which resonates with the voice of a young boy in the playful endeavours of childhood. At the end of this story one is faced with a tremendous sense of loss and pain. This book speaks to young and old alike and will resonate clearly with anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one. Harvey is not to be missed.

Alexandria of Africa by Eric Walters

Alexandria of Africa is a book about life changing lessons, exploring beyond your comfort zone & not to take anything for granted. This book is a great read for anyone who wants to try different genres, that is a big fan of Eric Walters books or anyone who just wants a page turner with lots of exciting reading events. The main character, Alexandria Hyatt, who shoplifted, but didn't want to go to jail, will take you through her journey of stretching out of her Beverly Hills prime time mansion, into a scenery with lions, elephants & people she would never thought of meeting. I liked that this book is exciting at the beginning, & won't stop you from placing your bookmark at anytime. I recommend this book to anyone in the intermediate grades, but the 5's and 6's will enjoy as well!
