A fantastic new book I’ve read recently is Small Medium at Large by Joanne Levy:
“After she's hit by lightning at a wedding, twelve-year-old Lilah Bloom develops a new talent: she hears dead people. Among them, there's her over-opinionated bubby Dora; a comically prissy fashion designer; and an approval-seeking clown who livens up a seance. With Bubby Dora leading the way, these and other sweetly imperfect ghosts haunt Lilah through seventh grade, and help her face her one fear: talking to and possibly going to the seventh-grade dance with her big crush, Andrew Finkel.” “Reading is life…the rest is just footnotes” -Unknown “If you want your children to be intelligent, READ THEM FAIRY TALES. If you want them to be more intelligent, READ THEM MORE FAIRY TALES.” -Albert Einstein.

The group is diverse, and I'd love a suggestion that would have great appeal. I've done Holocaust- related selections in the past and would like something different. All suggestions much appreciated.
