Mrs. Kathy Fiedler, former MS Librarian, recommends: //**__So B. It__ by Sarah Weeks.** 5 Star Rating// //Heidi doesn't know who she is. This is because her mother, who is mentally disabled, can't tell her when or where she was born. The only clue to Heidi's identity is an undeveloped roll of film that her mother had in her bag the night she arrived at Bernie's doorstep. Bernie never had the film developed because she's got agoraphobia, or a fear of the outdoors. Now that Heidi's twelve years old, she's finally old enough to run errands for Bernie...and get that roll of film developed.//

Jackie M., Grade 10, recommends: //**__Just Listen__, by Sarah Dessen**. Four star rating. This book is about a girl that lost her best friend because she was caught with her best friend's boyfriend at a school party. I liked it because it could happen in real life. It could happen to YOU! (But I hope it doesn't.)
