Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Eats, Shites & Leaves: Crap English and How to Use It (Shite)

This is one terrific send-up of another very good book. Pieces of terrible literature (you will be surprised what the sources are), are gleefully placed on paper for your laughing pleasure. This week, my 11-year old read this from the back seat while we were doing our errand run, and we laughed pretty hard. Highly recommended silliness!

All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome
by

I have two sons with Asperger's syndrome. They are both well-liked but my oldest, especially, is trying hard to learn social skills. Last year, I brought this book to his fourth-grade classroom (with his permission) and read it to the class. We followed that with a Q&A session with both of us that enlightened everyone (including me!). The class was finally able to understand why the smartest kid in the class was also in special ED, and really helped to explain some of his quirky behavior. I left the book at school for about a month, and during that time all of the kids read it at least once, many of them several times. This year, the entire fifth grade understands why he's so different, (he would call himself a geek). They are kind, friendly, and look out for him in amazing ways. I feel his success as he moves along the educational chain is going to be a better experience because of this one, small, book.

Secrets Of Droon 11 Hawk Bandits Of Tark

For my second-grader, these books have become compelling. Once one book is finished, the next one needs to be nearby or we have to find one -- FAST! A great series for read aloud as well as for kids who aren't sure they like reading. And this one was especially fun! But I'm not telling why.....
