brian's hunt by gary paulsen. if you're read hatchet, this is one of the sequels. it's new. if you haven't read hatchet, get to your public library today.
'Tis by frank mccourt. the author of angela's ashes which i loved. i thought i'd like his other work too...but so far, no luck.
the perfect elizabeth by libby schmais. i've borrowed this book twice from rachel and still haven't read it. it's supposedly chhick-lit which i should love but i haven't gotten into it yet.
stargirl by jerry spinelli. i've read it many times but i like to reread good ones. i just gave a copy to katie last week and it made me think, "i should re-read this one again."
divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood by rebecca wells. saw the movie and didn't like it that much but i thought i'd give the book a try. maybe the movie just wasn't as good as the book. that's usually the case, right?any votes for the read of the week?

my vote would be for 'stargirl' - I LOVED 'Maniac Magee' in elementary...had my grade 4 teacher read that one to us aloud! I'm sure 'Stargirl' is superb, Spinelli is a great author.
I also quite enjoyed the Ya-Ya's...I've never seen the movie (heard it wasn't great), but the books make for an interesting read.
I don't know if these suggestions will help you narrow down which book to read, I just thought I'd let you know my preferences.
i vote for brian's hunt, i haven't read anything by the author, yet, but I Love sequels!
if you can't decide, i'd like to borrow some chicklit for my cruise...wanna go to pirates tommorow night? that'll serve those boys for working/fishing!
