Favorites of the year (so far)

MotherReader is compiling a list of favorites of the year and encouraging participation - so, I'm in!

I read mostly middle grade, rarely picture books and occastionally young adult, so my focus here is on middle grade.

Here are my favorites of the year (so far):


A Crooked Kind of Perfect by Linda Urban

Louisiana's Song by Kerry Madden

The Aurora Country All-Stars by Deborah Wiles

The Thing About Georgie by Lisa Graff

Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little by Peggy Gifford

....and one young adult:

Alabama Moon by Watt Key

P.S. I'm sure I've probably forgotten some....

    I can't believe I just happened upon your site! I was browsing through the favorites of 2007 comments on MotherReader and I decided I wanted to read what you had to say... not putting two and two together that I have been looking for YOUR book the entire summer! I have just checked it out from the library yesterday and I am going to start reading it tonight. I bet it will be added to my list of favorites for 2007!
