Drum Roll Please

I am happy to announce the April family reading selection:

The Mighty Miss Malone
written by Newbery Medal-winning author
Christopher Paul Curtis

He is the author of two other bestselling classics:
Bud, Not Buddy
The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963

"We are a family on a journey to a place called Wonderful."

In this story Deza Malone takes us along the journey with her family as they deal with life's twist and turns during the Great Depression in Gary, Indiana. The trials come as Mr. Malone leaves home to find work. Unfortunately many of us are facing the same dilemma today. I hope this book will shine rays of hope.

Let's get started reading. I'm sure this book will be as delightful as the author's other classics.

Where did I find this book? at my local public library
Kudos to Public Libraries!

Happy Reading!
