Children/Middle Grade Book Suggestions
There are definitely many options out there, from classics to newly-released reads. Here are some that came to my mind:
- Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
- A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
- Matilda by Roald Dahl
- Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
- The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
- Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein

Goodreads is also a good resource in choosing what to read. These links might be helpful:

Sadly, it does not come out until the last week of this month.
(Yes, I know this is odd, but I am absolutely positive that I will love it just as much as her Winternight Trilogy.)
As it is not October, I would suggest...
The Fablehaven series (or the new continued Fablehaven series)
Harry Potter (at least the early ones)
Or just a reread of Alice.

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

It's definitely a fun and unique premise. I'm about halfway and it's still a nice one to read.
