Walnut Creek

To my loyal 3 followers. I am now at Walnut Creek Elementary until June 1. So far the kids have been so respectful and I know a few of the teachers because my three went to this school for two years. I am excited because I would like to participate in Childrens Book Awards

What an amazing story.

I don't know what it is about holocaust stories, I find them very compelling. I think it is that something so awful did and continues to happen and that somehow people actually survived. I think what gets me though these books is knowing that the author will survive.

Elli and her family live in Hungary and are swept off to concentration camps in April 1944. Elli is able to stay with her mother but they are separated from her brother, Bubi, and father. Days without food and water...somehow they survive.

Something Blue-Emily Giffin

Something Blue by Emily Giffin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is my second time listening to this one. Good thing I have a terrible memeory because it felt like the first. I loved it all over again. Something to make me happy on yucky days in the car.
