My students are obsessed with this series and I enjoyed it too. There were times that I actually laughed out loud. It is great when a children's book can entertain both kids and adults too.
I have been looking for a good book that I can lose myself in for a little while. The last few books that I have read have just not pulled me in. This book however sucked me in. I read it all in one sitting. What a lovely story about finding joy again after sorrow. I highly recommend this book and the recently released Lost in the Sun which follows a different character from Umbrella Summer. Lisa Graff has a talent for creating lovable characters.
Testing the Ice is a true story told from the perspective of Jackie Robinson's daughter. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It shows how Jackie Robinson showed courage not just in his professional life, but also his personal life.
I am a teacher and love reading this book to my students. They enjoy the vivid pictures and story line they can connect to. It makes a sometimes larger than life person, Jackie Robinson, seem very personal.
Brain Rules was fascinating. I am a teacher and plan on using many of the things from the book in my classroom. I found it a relatively easy read even for someone who hasn't read much about brain research before.
