Unbroken

Submitted by:  Shelley Titzer

Adults and teens, are you looking for an inspiring page turner to get lost in this summer?  Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand is an INCREDIBLE story.  You will not be able to put this book down. 

Louis Zamperini, who died yesterday at the age of 97, is an inspiration not as much for his service to our country (though that in itself makes him a true hero!) or for his athletic accomplishments as an Olympic athlete or for his enduring of such suffering and overcoming such obstacles in his life...but for "The hardest thing" he ever did: forgive. Are you holding a grudge? Is there someone you struggle to forgive? Read Unbroken and start living! RIP Louis Zamperini:Unbroken - Louis Zamperini - CBS Sunday Morning - 5-27-12

Stone Fox

We have read so many great books this year in 3SB!

One book we read recently is Stone Fox.  It is set in the past and based on a legend.  The main character, Little Willy, needs to figure out a way to earn money to save the farm.  As I was reading, I found Little Willy to be a very determined boy.  Even though he was told that he should just give up, he refused.  I'm still not sure about the ending and it had mixed reviews in our class.  This is definitely not a book that you can forget after reading it!
