About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

Keeper


Keeper by Kathi Appelt

To ten-year-old Keeper the moon is her chance to fix all that has gone wrong ... and so much has gone wrong.
But she know who can make things right again: Maggie Marie her mermaid mother, who swam away when Keeper was just three. A blue moon calls the mermaids to gather at a sandbar, and that's exactly where Keeper is headed- in a small boat. In the middle of the night, with only her dog BD, (best dog) , and a seagull named Captain. When the riptide pulls at the boat, tugging her away from the shore and deep into the rough waters of the Gulf of Mexico , panic sets in and the fairy tales that lured her out there go tumbling into the waves. Maybe the blue moon won't sparkle with mermaids and maybe -- oh no... "Maybe" is just to difficult to bear.

I love the book trailer, it just layers question mark after question mark, and leaves you curious for more.
