What we're reading:
Mrs. Walberg recommends The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Ruth E. Murray
Thirteen-year-old Charlotte Doyle is excited to return home from her
school in England to her family in Rhode Island in the summer of 1832.
But
when the two families she was supposed to travel with mysteriously
cancel their trips, Charlotte finds herself the lone passenger on a long
sea voyage with a cruel captain and a mutinous crew. Worse yet, soon
after stepping aboard the ship, she becomes enmeshed in a conflict
between them! What begins as an eagerly anticipated ocean crossing turns
into a harrowing journey, where Charlotte gains a villainous enemy . . .
and is put on trial for murder!
Ms. Trent recommends If You Give a Cat a Cupcake by Laura Numeroff
If you give a cat a cupcake, he'll ask for some sprinkles to go with it. When you give him the sprinkles, he might spill some on the floor. Cleaning up will make him hot, so you'll give him a bathing suit . . . and that's just the beginning!
