I've been meaning to write something about this book for over a week and I think I've been putting it off because I'm not sure I even know what to say. Liz Murray's memoir is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Growing up in the Bronx to drug-addicted parents and ending up homeless as a teenager, Liz finds the strength and determination to finish high school and ultimately attend Harvard. I had the opportunity to meet Liz at the New England Independent Booksellers fall conference last month and learned about her story there. Even more amazing than her incredible story is her commitment to helping other children who are growing up without enough food.
Liz has said that the school lunch program was sometimes her only meal of the day. Without school on the weekends, some children are left without enough to eat on the weekends. As part of her book tour, LIz partnered with Blessings in a Backpack, an organization that sends children in need home with a backpack of food on Fridays. Liz hopes that through her campaign 50,000 children will be served through the program by the end of the year. Because of partnerships with local grocers Blessings in a Backpack is able to provide a school year of food for $80 per child. You can learn more about the organization and make a donation here: Blessings in a Backpack

There are some great new kids titles this fall from Candlewick. A few of my favorites are listed below. I really can't get enough of Bonny Becker's Bear series (remember A Visitor for Bear and Bedtime for Bear?).The latest: Bedtime for Bear, is so sweet and funny. If you haven't checked out this series yet, be sure to take a peek. Another fun choice this fall is Brontorina by James Howe and illustrated by Randy Cecil.
A can't miss for early readers is the brand new Bink and Golliefrom the powerhouse teamKate DiCamillo, Alison McGhee and Tony Fucile. What a collaboration! Hilarious and great fun!
What I've been reading a whole lot of lately is young adult fiction and besides the Hunger Games trilogy, which is obviously fantastic, I think the best of the best is the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness. Set in a world where men can all hear each other's thoughts (lots of NOISE) and there are no women (at first), the series is a great example of dystopian fiction that addresses good vs. evil, civil war, decisions that change us, and of course, a little bit of romance. The third book in the trilogy comes out at the end of September. All titles are listed below. Happy Reading! Lisa
