A delectable treat! When Rosie and her best-friend-from-forever, Bailey, begin arguing, Granny Torrelli wisely suggests cooking lessons. Before long the threesome are immersed in cavatelli pasta, meatballs, and long-ago stories. Creech masterfully balances moments of truth, poignancy, and high comedy. Recommended by Suzy, Powell's Books at Portland International Airport
For his junior year, Miles makes the
bold decision to transfer to Culver Creek boarding school.
This leap of faith opens opportunities for new journeys
in friendship, romance, personal philosophy, and mischief.
Green's pitch-perfect narrative explores the unknown —
and the unknowable — in a thoughtful, profound, and
moving manner. An intelligent, intense coming-of-age story
from a talented new author. Recommended by Suzy, Powell's Books at Portland International Airport
Anyone who is or has been a teenage girl should relate to the drama, humor, and
camaraderie of Ann Brashares's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. I
never was one, but even I found her wit and energy irresistible. In terms of
poignancy, Girls in Pants might even be the best of the trio. Recommended by Rico, Powells.com
This story of getting dumped (after deciding to start dating on summer break — big mistake) is a hilarious, witty, and touching take on what you do at fourteen to revamp your image and your life... you get some bish bash bosh! Recommended by Erik, Powell's Books in Beaverton
There's a bear in the backyard! Stillwater, a friendly giant panda and Zen master, quietly illustrates the Zen path to three siblings through parables sparked by the children's questions. Muth's outstanding storytelling is perfectly illuminated by his spare, eloquent watercolors and ink drawings. There's no better introduction to the gentle teachings of Zen Buddhism, be ye young, old, or in between. Absolutely marvelous. Recommended by Barb, Powell's Books at Portland International Airport
