Mouse Tales So many fun stories about mice from the author/illustrator of Frog and Toad. The stories really get the imagination going while being sweet and accessible even for very young children.
All Alone in the Universe This is a story about the excruciating experience of breaking up with your best friend. Debbie’s descriptions and insights made her so loveable I wanted to be her new BFF.
Belle Prater’s Boy I felt like I traveled back in time and to the hills of Appalachia while I read about the sweet friendship of two cousins with more than their fair share of trouble and sadness but also great senses of humor and observation.
The Next Great Paulie Fink The uninformed narrator and the structure of a reality-TV-type competition add lots of intrigue to this story full of strong characters who know each other too well to see what’s really going on in their small town.
Lions & Liars Laugh out loud scenarios, quirky characters, and underdog triumphs make this a fun story with plenty of suspense.
Orangutan Tongs I love a tongue twister, and these are some of my all-time favorites. Silly, poetic and fun to say as quickly as possible.
Alice’s Farm Alice is the best kind of spunky and smart, young, female protagonist. She’s also an adorable rabbit with a knack for farming. I love all of the human and animal characters in this funny tale that feels like it could be set right here in Whatcom County.
The Journey of Little Charlie This story has it all: action, adventure, an incredibly likable main character, and a whole lot to think about on big social issues that still resonate today.
What Lane? I was rooting for this smart, sensitive, witty, and relatable character as he struggled to navigate a world where other people’s expectations unfairly impacted his freedom and self expression.
