It's Monday! What are you reading?

Our fifth grade Book Lunch Bunch clubs are up and running, and so my reading list has grown to include their group books.  I am currently reading along with our girls' group:

I enjoyed DiCamillo's Because of Winn-Dixie and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, but it's been years since I've read those.  I had forgotten how easy DiCamillo's prose rolls before my eyes, her expert storytelling pulling me along from page to page as it does once again in Flora & Ulysses.  Campbell's illustrations are fun punctuations to this unusual narrative about a girl who loves to read comics and a squirrel who escapes death and becomes imbued with special powers.

If you're looking for an amusing book with quirky characters about the power of friendship and reading, take a peek at Flora & Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo.  It's Monday; what books are you reading to lighten your mood and outlook?
