I just finished a book I think should be on our list. It's "What Came From the Stars" by Gary D. Schmidit. Well written, timely topic and like "Wrinkle in Time" and "When You Reach Me" has the SciFi-ness (is that a word?) that would be popular with readers. Just my 2 cents!
ReplyDeleteThanks Patricia! Yes, we're planning to make that 1 of our titles--and the November list will be out shortly, so stay tuned!
