    I am currently reading Bringing the Boy Home by N.A. Nelson. I am hooked! It’s about a boy who was sent away from his tribe in the Amazon at the age of six. His mother put him in a coffin canoe alone (yes, coffin) and sent him down the Amazon River to die! I know it sounds morbid and depressing, but it’s not. A woman who was visiting the Amazon from the United States found him along the river. She adopted him and took him back with her. I’ll fill you in on the rest when I read more.

    Unfortunately, I had to put down Bringing the Boy Home. I’m helping out with the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl team, so I had to read Go Big or Go Home by Will Hobb. The book is action packed! It is about a boy named Brady who encounters a meteorite that falls through the roof into his bedroom. The meteorite has some positive and negative effects on him. He was able to confront a huge buffalo while saving a young kid’s life, but later on he became weak and “dormant” (appeared to be dead when he was actually alive). A coroner almost performed an autopsy on him while Brady was still alive! Fortunately, his cousins, friends and a professor came to his rescue.
