New Challenge!
Lizzie Skurnick posted this blog about her book Shelf Discovery, and I think it would be a natural for this club:

Shelf discovery
I agree. It does sound like a natural. I'll have to get my hands on a copy of the book. I could only find two that interested me in the online list, because I'm much more interested in YA than MG. But I'm sure the book has a lot more. Thanks for leaving that link!

And pretty good timing...
As I'm just today wrapping up the first draft of a new YA. Now I might actually get a minute to look into this.
For years I've been wanting to read "Summer of my German Soldier," because I saw the TV movie when I was much younger, and I just loved it so much. It's very rare for me to love a movie based on a book and to not yet have read the book. So I have some serious amends to make to the author of German Soldier.
Jennifer Gibbons says:
Wonderful!!
I loved Summer of My German Soldier. I just bought the sequel and am planning on rereading it soon.
Catherine Ryan Hyde says:
Whoa
There's a SEQUEL? I've got a lot of reading to do!
Jennifer Gibbons says:
Yup!
It's about Patty graduating from high school, then she decides to go to Europe. Her parents are not thrilled about this, being the dopey idiots they were (sorry! Still ticked off at the Parents Bergen!)
The book is titled Morning is a Long Time Coming.

Bergens
I still remember that line about her parents being "seconds." But rather than getting a discount because of it, she'd been paying dearly all her life.
Catherine Ryan Hyde says:
Let me know...
I just bought "Summer of my German Soldier"... and the Lizzie Skurnick Shelf Discover book. Please let me know what you think of the "Summer" sequel. I have misgivings about sequels, but would love to hear your take.
