From the Grave sounds so perfect for every kid and adults to remember what it's like to try to fit in. I'm excited to see Finding Perfect on this list--it's a must read for me because of the panic attacks.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these books sound great. It's wonderful to have exciting new books for kids to read!
