Recommendation

The Mitten by Jan Brett

Cheryl says:
This is a beautifully illustrated book. I have great success with it because I use props while telling the story. It’s fun to see how all the animals fit inside one mitten.

The Darkest Secret by Alex Marwood

Cindy says:
A young twin goes missing, and 12 years later, her father’s death reveals secrets. The story is told through the eyes of the “surviving” twin. Interesting twist at the end!

Pretty Ugly by Kirker Butler

Cindy says:
I laughed throughout this surprisingly witty book. This story revolves around a hilariously dysfunctional family. Warning… sputtering liquid all over pages if drinking while reading will occur!

What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross

Cindy says:
This story grabs from the beginning. Imagine wanting a child so much that you kidnap one from a store and pass the child off as your own for 21 years. A captivating story told through alternating perspectives.

When She Woke by Hillary Jordan

Cindy says:
This book captivated me from the beginning with the futuristic idea of being color chromed according to your crime. Definitely a modern day story reminiscent of The Scarlett Letter. A real page turner!

 

The Widow by Fiona Barton

Tanya says:
Excellent read! It is experienced through the perspective of all characters in the story, plus a plot twist you don’t see coming.

 

Bad Mommy by Tarryn Fisher

Cindy says:
When does obsession cross the line? Perhaps when you move next door to a woman whose life you covet so much you emulate everything about her… This craziness will make you keep on reading!

Only Daughter by Anna Snoekstra

Cindy says:
Imagine looking so much like someone who disappeared years earlier that, to avoid arrest charges, you claim to be the missing girl. Now imagine the perfect family you hope to walk into is anything but.

Doggone Dogs! by Karen Beaumont

Pam says:
What a fun book to read! This book will have you laughing from beginning to end. The illustrations are so colorful. It’s amazing what these doggone dogs can do in a day!

Redemption Road by John Hart

Pat says:
This book puts murder, love, and whodunit into one nice page-turner. Sometimes the good are bad and the bad are good. I liked this book because it keeps you guessing.

Little Penguins by Cynthia Rylant

Pam says:
I really like the illustrations. This is a nice book to share with a little one. They can learn about colors as each little penguin prepares for a fun day out in the snow.

Go to Sleep, Monster! by Kevin Cornell

Pam says:
Have you ever been scared of a monster under the bed? What about one under the floor? I never knew there were so many monsters lurking about, but thankfully these aren’t the scary kind! I laughed with every page.
