Hey, I just read "The Red Umbrella" by Christina Diaz Gonzalez, about Operation Pedro Pan. Have you seen/read it? I really enjoyed it.
I'd say "Looking for Alaska" and "Papertowns" might be more to your taste. I liked "Katherines." I liked the interplay between Hassan and Colin, but I do agree that the the musical was pretty overdone in "Will Grayson, Will Grayson." His books definitely play well with the "nerd" crowd, though.
Have you read any John Green? Namgyal is really enjoying his books (8th grade now,) though they mostly deal with seniors/just graduating. He really enjoys the "nerdfighters" aspect....you're gonna have to google it. Anyway, wondering if you've read or heard any buzz. Our small town librarian is totally a fan.
I read Shifty last week and it didn't work for me. I get the whole idea of it, that families can be made in a different fashion, but so much of it is overblown (the case worker, for example,) and I was horrified by the supervision...except for the obvious emergency at the end. I'd definitely hand a kid Sherman Alexie's "Flight" over this book!
Did you get What Shall I Make? What did you think? I thought it was awesome! I got Mixed- I liked his other book, but I don't think the boys care much. It would make a good one for the bathroom...you know, they'll pick it up because it's there, where it might be ignored on the shelf.
Have you seen "What Should I Make?" by Nandini Nayar? It's really cute- gentle and a nice cultural intro for little guys (and gals!) El Raton Perez is in- I pick it up tomorrow. Can't wait to see that one.
I haven't seen it yet, but it sounded great in the reviews I read. I'm going to have to track that down!
Just read about a book I think might interest you (if you haven't seen it already...I'm often behind the times.) The Tooth Fairy Meets El Raton Perez

Just wondering what mp3 player you would suggest. Most importantly looking for auto resume. Thanks!
Yes, that was an Amazing book. Our lives are SO easy. Have you seen the "Three Cups of Tea" picture book, "Listen to the Wind?" It was done really well.

I read this article on my dailyme literati book blog I get on my kindle. I immediately thought of you, I'm not sure why...
Yeah, I think the waiting room and the house call might be lost on the kids, but they keep us readers entertained. There's enough in the story that they love. Kunchok always has to comment that the teacher looks like she's going to throw up when the snake is doing her trick on the bars. And he loves the principal getting mad. We read Goodnight Goon a couple months ago. He enjoyed it. Didn't know about the sequel. Will watch.
I requested our library purchase, "Are You A Horse" and we got it this week. Have you seen "Doctor Ted"? Instant favorite, even with the big boys.
I loved Flygirl. You should check out my blog http://thehappynappybookseller.blogspot.com/
I was just looking at Uncle Peter's Amazing Chinese Wedding and there it is on your shelf!
We did Kunchok vs. the Apple last night. (P.S. Kunchok WINS!)
We love Dinosaur Vs. Bedtime. Do you know it? Extremely well received by the local 3 year old.
