A Prime Kindle First Read

I'm not usually into fan fiction but I did enjoy this one. It's short and sweet and rather clever- it makes a great summer read!

Recommended to adults and fans of Charles Dickens.

Emma by Jane Austen

2.0

I couldn't really get in to Emma as a character, and didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as the rest of Austen's books.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

5.0

Loser by Jerry Spinelli

4.0

I enjoyed this book for so many reasons. It is clever, and seriously funny yet heart warming. However, as a read aloud for a fourth grade class, Loser fell a bit short. Most of the humor was from the point of view of an adult, so it fell a bit flat for 9-10 year olds. This story does teach an excellent lesson about acceptance of others. I might consider trying it as a read aloud again with a different group of kids.
