Title: Wonder
Author: R.J. Palacio
Summary: If you haven’t read this book yet, it should be first on your list! Told from the viewpoint of the many people involved in August Pullman’s story, it is a tearful, happy, and hopeful story that will have you running to the store for some tissues! This book is about how August Pullman transforms for a facially deformed, friendless, disabled kid, to a strong, handsome and friend-full. August has a rough life. The universe has not been kind to him. He has a extremely rare facial deformity and has had many surgeries to try and fix it. because of all his surgeries, he has never gone to a real school. Until now. August is on the wild, bumpy ride of middle school with his friends, “friends,” and family. Like how August’s sister says, “Auggie is the sun. Me, mom, and dad, are planets orbiting around him. True friends and extended family are the asteroids and meteors and things orbiting around him farther away. It has always been like this. But now, some of the planets, asteroids, meteors, and things, are falling out of orbit.”

Title: The Sands of Time
Author: Michael Hoeye
Summary: Our favorite watchmaker, Hermux Tantamoq, is wallowing in mystery yet again, sticking his nose where it really shouldn’t be. It all starts when his best friend, artist Mirrin Stentrill paints the community’s biggest fear. CATS! The community refuses to believe these creatures are real. But Hermux is different. A strange chipmunk appears after Mirrin’s art show of cats and tells Hermux that…. CATS ARE REAL! Hermux works with this chipmunk to help him find his lost cats library, to finally see if cats are real. Mirrin and beautiful aviator, Linka Perflinger (who, unfortunately, even though Hermux loves, is engaged to someone else), get tied into this mess and try to find the Cats’ library, before any sneaky, dirty, little rich mice do. Hopefully, it will blow up in those rich peoples’ faces. And maybe, just maybe, Hermux and the chipmunk will be able to find true love in their mission.

I also happen to be in the middle of The Secrets of Shakespeare’s Grave. Let’s see if you can beat me to the end!

Her memorial is an old oak tree near the crossroads (where he died) that murders people as vehicles go by on the crossroads. And that tree is in Zack’s backyard.
