FINISHED:
Albertalli, Becky. (2015). Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. New York: Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins.
[Finally got around to reading this one after getting a free copy at the Morris Awards while at ALA Midwinter. FANTASTIC read. This is another case of "why wasn't this book around when I was a teenager?" envy. Great voice. Cleverly has every other chapter be emails between Simon's secret identity and Blue (another student at school who is keeping his identity under wraps). A fun coming out story with a sweet romance that builds slowly, and virtually!]
STARTED:
Wolk, Lauren. (2016). Wolf Hollow. New York: Dutton/Penguin/Random House.
[4 starred reviews (from all of the majors) - and having fun trying to pick what might be up for the 2017 Newbery.]
