Summer Reading

Libby here again. So everyone knows I am a very avid reader. I absolutely adore books and the unknown worlds they have to offer me. Right now I am in my children's literature class which is the perfect class for me. I am required to read great books and discuss them in class which happens to be one of my very favorite things to do. If I could just be a literature teacher I would (I can't teach English because I can't inflict the pain of writing papers on anyone). The class is only 7 weeks long which has kept me busily reading almost everyday. A few books I have read and loved recently are Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan and The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen:
