The Gift of Goodbye By Louise Cypress!!!


The Gift of Goodbye 
By Louise Cypress



Caleb will do anything to protect the people he loves--and his grandma is top of that list, especially now that she has Alzheimer's disease.

After Emma accidentally insults Grams, Caleb lashes out and makes fun of Emma's dyslexia. Emma's best friend Sydney rushes to her defense, starting a girls versus boys cartoon war that involves the whole sixth grade. Pencils ready, students of Whitman Elementary, prepare to battle!

When Sydney starts taking art lessons from Grams, she connects with Grams in a way that Caleb can't. Love, lost memories, and new friendships enable powerful conversations to happen, especially about the toughest topic of all--Alzheimer's disease.

If you're looking for a book to read with your kids to help them process a loved one moving to a memory care unit, this is it.

Audience: Young Reader+
Review: 

 Wow! This book is emotional, beautiful, and so full of knowledge for ALL ages! I loved this story too much and all of the characters. This is a young reader novel, so it has the cute young kid vibes. Jokes, laughs, heart ache. I love Sydney and Brian and unfortunately
their story is true for too many kids. I love that this book gives the audience perspectives from all different backgrounds. The story of how kids live, but also how they live with someone they love having Alzheimer's Disease is beautiful and heartbreaking. This author did an amazing job! <3

The Martian By Andy Weir!!!

The Martian by Andy Weir Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.  Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.  Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first.  But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills — and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit — he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? Review: I finally read this book after numerous friends tol...

The Queen's Rising Series by Rebecca Ross

 I loved this series! I never wanted it to end! Rebecca Ross has an amazing writing style that pulls you into the story and won't let go. There's mystery which I love. I enjoy having something to figure out, and the author being able to keep the truth hidden until the end. Guessing is obviously my favorite, but I thoroughly enjoy being wrong at the end.  ;)  If you love fantasy and great storytelling, jump into this two book series! I can't wait to read more of her writing! The Queen's Rising When her seventeenth summer solstice arrives, Brienna desires only two things: to master her passion and to be chosen by a patron. Growing up in the southern kingdom of Valenia at the renowned Magnalia House should have prepared her. While some are born with a talent for one of the five passions—art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge—Brienna struggled to find hers until she chose knowledge. However, despite all her preparations, Brienna’s greatest fear comes true: she is left wi...
