  I want to get back in the groove of posting another part of this series once a month. Let's see how it goes. 1. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls -okay, this one is actually kind of popular in memoir circles! This is the story of author and journalist Jeannette Walls and her life growing up in an unconventional and dysfunctional family, and how she escaped and changed her life for the better while acknowledging you can never truly escape your past.  2. Aquicorn Cove by K. O'Neill -another whimsical book from author K. O'Neill all about protecting the environment to protect the animals--including magical ones!  3. They Called Us Enemy by George Takei -you know what, this memoir is quite popular, too!

Sylvia Doe and the 100 Year Flood by Robert Beatty -a middle grade novel a...

  Another great book by one of my favorite authors!

It was also because of a hurricane: Hurricane Helene. Robert Beatty decided that a portion of his sales from this book will go to help victims of the floods. i bought a copy of this book to help out the cause. Thank you, Mr. Beatty! Sylvia Doe and the 100-Year Flood is a middle grade urban fantasy novel about 13 year old Sylvia Doe, who has run away from another foster family back to Highground Home for Children, where she feels she truly belongs.
