Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt

Although I wish I could be, I am not a big fan of historical fiction. My brain can't seem to put me in a different time or place, so the stories don't seem to grab me like the other genres. Then I read Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt.

This book placed my mind into slavery times, when the Underground Railroad was the means of escape to the north. Young Clara finds a unique way of using her new sewing skills. You will enjoy reading how a young girl was able to impact others through her creativity!

The Tale of Despereaux (Junior Novelization)

If you have already seen the movie, you can still read this book. To me, it is as if they are two completely different stories! Challenge yourself to find the differences between the two version.

In either format, you will enjoy Despereaux, a tiny mouse (tinier than ever normal mice!) with enormous ears who wants to be a gentleman rather than a mouse, Roscuro, a rat who longs for light from his dungeon, the Princess Pea, a sad princess living a sad life, and other colorful characters.

I love how the author has several stories going on all at the same time in different parts of the castle. Will their stories come together? Will Despereaux always stay mouselike? Read to find out!
