Welcome to the MSK Book Blog!
Like you, I am always looking for a good book to read and I find recommendations from friends to be a great place to start. This book blog is a place where the students of the Middle School of the Kennebunks can post a great book that they've read that others might also enjoy. To start us off, here is a book I've read that I liked a lot. I look forward to reading your comments! Mrs. Savage, Media Specialist, Middle School of the Kennebunks.
Book Title: Diamonds in the Shadow
Author: Caroline B. Cooney
I've often wondered what it would be like to have to leave your home because of a war and have to start over somewhere else. In this book, Jared is a middle school student whose church-going parents decide to take in a refugee family from Africa. Jared is not pleased about the disruption to his life at all. The refugees arrive to live with his family but before long Jared starts to notice things and feel that something is wrong, that they are not who they say they are. Jared is right. The suspense in this book is great, all the way up to the exciting ending. This is by the same author of The Face on the Milk Carton.
