I read the book PinBalls by Betsy Byars. This book is about three orphans Carlie, Harvey and Thomas J. Charli whose step dad threatened to hurt her. Tomas J. had been put at the door of the Benson Twins house and they took him in. After they both broke their hips Tomas J. was sent to foster care. The third child was Harvey whose drunk father ran over both his legs with a car. When these three orphans come to the same foster home the Masons home they start figure out they control there own fate.

2012 Debut Challenge

One of the blogs that I follow: The Story Siren has had a reading challenge for the past few years. She calls it the Debut Author Challenge. The challenge is to read 12 books by debut authors of Young Adult Fiction during the year (one for each month).
This is the first year that I'm signing up for it. If you're interested in giving it a try, you can sign up here or by clicking on the button on the sidebar.
You do have to create a Goodreads account, which is very simple. You can also find lists of debut authors on Goodreads. One is 2012 Debut Authors (Young Adult & Middle Grade).
Happy Reading!

Hunger Games Trailer

A full trailer for The Hunger Games movie was just released. It looks very promising! From what I could tell from the 2 minute trailer, the movie is trying to stay pretty faithful to the book, which is a huge relief. I think that is always the fear of every book lover: will the look and feel of the book carry over to the big screen.
I am always impressed with the producers and directors that get it right. It has to be hard to translate the emotion and detail from a couple hundred page book to a 2 hour movie.
Here's hoping that The Hunger Games is as good on the silver screen as is is on the page!
