It's Monday What Are You Reading is hosted each week by Unleashing Readers and Teach Mentor Texts. If you are a person who loves kidlit, all you need to do to join is to blog about books you are reading on Monday, add your link to either of those two blogs and post using the hashtag. I hope you will join in!
It's definitely a challenge blogging and teaching. Just getting this in under the wire. Here's a couple of books that I read this week.
Middle Grade
Marcus is a sharp-tongued, reactive kid, but when his father forces him to take a movie-making class as part of the after-school program, he may find that giving people a chance and learning to work with others will make his superhero movie-making dreams come true. I love the character growth in this book. Kids will also be inspired to make a movie.
Young Adult
Violet has always dreamed of the future. When her vision shows her a boy getting killed, she decides to change the outcome, not realizing that she was saving the prince and angering the fates. Now as the seer to the king, that same boy she saved has become her adversary as she plots with his father to break his curse and find him a wife. But the thing about prophecy is it is told in riddles and what Violet believes to be true may be different from reality. YA fantasy lovers will enjoy this one. It does have mature content so I would not recommend it for younger YA readers.
