Miss Becerra

Miss Becerra

I am currently a sixth grade teacher at an elementary school - we have departmentalized so I teach the ELA portion which is fitting! I have been an avid, passionate reader since I was young! I remember BEGGING my parents to take me to the library and/or bookstore to stock up on my book choices for the week. One of my fondest memories from... more »

    Eye Contact's description:

    Like The Lovely Bones and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time , Cammie McGovern’s breakout novel is at once a hypnotic thriller and an affecting portrait of people as real as our next-door neighbors. In Eye Contact , two children vanish in the woods behind their elementary school. Hours later, nine-year-old Adam is found alive, the sole witness to his playmate’s murder. But because Adam has autism, he is a silent witness. Only his mother, Cara, can help decode his behavior for the police. As the suspense ratchets, Eye Contact becomes a heart-stopping exploration of the bond between a mother and a very special child.


    I'm reading Made in the USA by Billie Letts now, author of Where the Heart Is. It's great so far!

    What are you reading now?

    I LOVED Hunger Games! I got up early on Sunday (6:00) so that I could finish it! My daughter and I ran out to Costco to buy Catching Fire, which she is reading right now. I'll get to it next weekend.

    When You Reach Me seems to be a quick read.

    Erin F says

    the only one i've read is the first one. and as far as i can remember there were times when they talk about someone being "loose" but never any details or anything like that, and no foul language that i can remember. but i loved the first and definitely will read the rest :)

    oh wow i'm even more excited now! haha i'm like 700 on the waiting list for it lol but i'll get it eventually!

    what are you planning on reading next?

    Erin F says

    that definitely gives me a good idea of what type of books to suggest :) you may want to check out the "Blue is for Nightmares" series :) it's right along those lines. No foul language (that i can recall, but pretty sure on that one), and no sexual content. just a thought :P

    oh i'm just dying to read the hunger games! i'm on the waiting list, impatiently waiting haha i haven't read jodi picoult or jennifer weiner, but both are on my plan to read :)

    i've read some really interesting books here lately :) so any of them that you have questions about just let me know :)

    I'd love to help you out when I can! Any that I read that I think may be appropriate I'll definitely pass along to you. What are some books you have them read? Just to get an idea of the lines you'd like to have.

    Also, what kind of books do you enjoy personally?

    I really enjoyed "Tangerine"! It was interesting to get into the main character's head, as he had his day to day struggles with peers and with his star brother. I felt sad for him, emotionally neglected as he was. I thought it would be a good read for boys especially.
