Book 20: The One Thing You’d Save by Linda Sue Park

Texas Bluebonnet List 2022 book. Reviewed for ages 8 and older.

Synopsis: If your house were on fire, what one thing would you save? Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park explores different answers to this provocative question in linked poems that capture the diverse voices of a middle school class. Illustrated with black-and-white art.

Review: I liked this kid take on the age old question: What would you save if your house was on fire? The teacher posing this question to her class says all the people and pets are safe. What is the next one thing you would save? I have always said my scrapbooks. They are all on a shelf next to our bed, easy to scoop up and go. Always up for a Linda Sue Park book, and I enjoyed this one as some of her others. My rating 4 ⭐️.

What is the ONE thing you would save in a fire, given that all people and pets are safe?????
