Please don’t be scared…

What we’re reading. Eclectic & interesting…
Our reading choices this week are slightly ecclectic and interesting. Emily is reading the first in the series of these books. She is LOVING it. They were recommended by a friend, and I got her a copy. She loves it so much she has been sneaking it into her school bag, to read. I even […]
