Book Description

Libby Bloom wishes she could be as smart and talented as her practically perfect sister. But Libby's only talent seems to be embarrassing herself. So she's horrified when, after causing a scene during chorus, she's switched to band class. Even worse, Mr. Cheney, the band teacher, assigns her to play the tuba Â- not exactly a low-profile instrument! Lessons with the perceptive Mr. Cheney, however, are about more than just music. Soon Libby learns that she can do something well Â- something that might even help save her school.

Book Description

Hubie is a daydreamer. When he daydreams, he lets his imagination go wild. He imagines he’s a rock star, or a heavyweight champion, or sometimes, that he’s adopted. In class, he doodles a lot. He draws funny pictures of his teacher, Mrs. Bunce, and of his friends. Daydreaming and doodling are good ways to escape when you think your life is miserable.

But real-life problems aren’t solved by daydreaming, and Hubie’s got some big problems. He’s overweight; he’s the favorite victim of the class bully, Marruci; and he’s not doing well in school. To top it off, his father wants to put his beloved Fred Ferkle, the family cat, to sleep. Hubie is convinced life stinks. But maybe, just maybe, there’s something Hubie can do to change all that.

Book Description

"Night Journey to Vicksburg" by Susan Rowan Masters takes place in the spring of 1863 during the American Civil War. It is the story of 13-year-old Jubilee and his two younger sisters, May Belle and Anna, who flee their Louisiana plantation in search of freedom. Their older friend, Henry Long, wakes Jubi one April night to tell him that he and his sisters are to be sold the next day, most likely to different owners. He brings them new clothes and a small amount of food, drawing a map in the dirt floor of their shack to show them how to escape. Along the way, the three runaways are tormented by mosquitoes, discovered by Rebel soldiers, and adopted by a lost dog. Jubi saves the life of a wounded Union officer, Lieutenant Dunlap, by bandaging a serious gunshot wound in his leg. The officer asks Jubi to bring crucial information to General Grant about a safe landing spot for Union ships. Jubi travels over five miles to deliver the information and is rewarded with fr! eedom, proper care and nourishment, and a family name.
