Book Review II

The other book I want to suggest is one the kids can read.  Several of my 8th graders have chosen to read this book and have asked for the sequel.  It is called "Lawn Boy".  It is about this boy who begins to mow yards and has his stock broker neighbor invest his money for him in the stock market.  It is an excellent way to introduce or reinforce teaching economics.  Every student of mine who has read it has liked it!

BOOK REVIEW

I read a great book that will get you in the mood for the holidays.  It is an adult book so I wouldn't recomend it to kiddos.  It is called "The Same Kind of Different as Me".  It is a true story about a very wealthy art dealer and a modern day slave and the Christian woman who brought them together.  It is a great read!
