Maeve was a terrified little dog, shrinking in the back of her kennel, lunging at anyone that tried to move her. There is something so beautiful about the secondhand joy of viewing the world through the eyes of a former shelter dog.

Snow Treasure by Marie McSwigan tells the story of Norweigan school children, who saved the nation's wealth by outsmarting the Nazis by leaning into the tendency of adults to underestimate children.

Check out my review on Story Graph.

Sweet Maevie girl. She loves outside so much she starts screaming/crying as soon as we are on the front porch.

Sam enjoying a cold day! He loves the cold! It's the Scottish in him. When it's cold outside, he will cry at the backdoor in the middle of the night to be allowed to go outside to sniff the air.

All of a Kind Family by Sydney Taylor is the story of a Jewish family, growing up in 1910s Brooklyn. It would be great for middle school kids learning about Judaism in 6th grade.

Goodreads for review.
