When I last linked up I was still listening to The Red Queen and The Fairy Tale Detectives on audio. I finally finished both of those books at the end of September. I really enjoyed both books. I still like The Land of Stories better than The Fairy Tale Detectives, but I do think they will make good selections for a fractured fairy tale literature circle. I plan to read more of the books in The Fairy Tale Detectives series eventually. I tried to start reading Rump by Liesl Shurtliff, but honestly I wasn't enjoying it so I never finished it. I may consider using it in my literature circles, but I haven't decided.
When I read through some of the #IMWAYR posts back in September, Cheriee at Library Matters wrote a review mentioning The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series and The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates. Both series intrigued me, so the last two audio books I have listened to have been Magic Marks the Spot and The Mysterious Howling. Both books are read by Catherine Kellgren on the audio. I believe she is the one who does the audio for the Bloody Jack series as well. She really is one of my favorite audio book performers. She does such a great job with all the different accents and voices.
Audio Books
The Mysterious Howling is about a young girl who finds herself governess to three young children raised by wolves. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. Really the plot in the book is not super exciting or deep, but the narrator is absolutely fabulous. I think this would make great read aloud to teach students about how a speaker or narrator can have a different point of view from the main characters. There is really a lot of great sentences and vocabulary in this book as well, which also makes it great for read aloud.
Magic Marks the Spot is just pure fun. It this book, the main character is a young girl who really wants to be a pirate but instead her father tries to send her to finishing school. She runs away to be a pirate to have her own adventure. I love the Bloody Jack series, so I am happy that this series is more appropriate for my 5th graders. I plan on getting both the The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series and The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates series for my classroom library over time.
Books Read
I just finished Curtsies and Conspiracies this weekend. I then started Waistcoats and Weaponry last night.
I am thoroughly enjoying this witty series on a finishing school that secretly teaches its students espionage. I highly recommend the series for a fun read. Most of my 5th graders might not be quite mature enough for them, but 6th and 7th graders would be for sure.
What are you reading?
I enjoyed Rump by Liesl Shurtliff, but had a number of sixth graders struggle with it last year. So far this year, it's had a better run. You might want to consider Jack, her retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk. At least with that one, most of my students knew the original story, something which wasn't true for Rump.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of the Curtsies and Conspiracies series, but it sounds like fun. I'm going to have to check that series out!

I haven't tried Jack yet. The first book in that series is Etiquette and Espionage. They are fun.
DeleteI'm so glad you are enjoying these series. Are they not fabulous! I just hate having to wait for the next book in the Finishing School series to be published!
