C. R. Mudgeon<\/a>
\nby\u00a0Leslie Muir (Author) and Julian Hector (Illustrator)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> C.R. Mudgeon, a sensible hedgehog, likes knowing just what to expect. Always. No surprises, no excitement. So when a noisy new neighbor, Paprika the squirrel, arrives, C.R. Mudgeon is even less cheerful than normal.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong>
\nAt suppertime C.R. Mudgeon smelled something strange.
\nPeppery.
\nTickly.
\nHe sneezed.
\nPaprika was cooking. The air was thick with her spices.<\/p>\n

Chapter Book of the Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Glass Collector<\/a>
\nby Anna Perera (Author)
\n352 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Fifteen-year-old Aaron lives amongst the rubbish piles in the slums of Cairo. His job? To collect broken glass. His life? Wasted. His hope? To find a future he can believe in.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> Aaron walks slowly and painfully, trying hard to take the weight off his left knee, which is throbbing badly after a fall this morning with a pony and cart. The toe he jabbed and the elbow he bashed when he landed on the hot, potholed road hurt almost as badly and, for one awful moment, he thinks he’ll just sink down on the pavement and give up.<\/p>\n
