2008 Printz Honor Books (2)


One Whole and Perfect Day by Judith Clarke

All Lily wants is one whole perfect day where her family will not do anything that she seems to be freakish. She wants to have a normal day where all of her family members get along and act in a sensible manner. She is tired of being the sensible one in the family and wants her mother to care more about the family and household. For her Grandfather’s 80th birthday Lily wants everyone to get along. This book is great to talk about the problems that families have and many students may relate to the relationships that Lily and her family have. Every student wants to have a normal day in life, and this book will help students realize that all families do have that one special day.






Dreamquake: Book Two of the Dreamhunter Duet by Elizabeth Knox

This book is great if you like science fiction, fantasy. The story revolves around Laura Hame and the Hame-Tiebold family that is able to deliver dreams to patrons of the Rainbow Opera especially one dream that opens a government conspiracy wide open. The government does not want anyone to know about it and it puts the lives of everyone in the family in danger. It is a story of fate, free will, magic and teen problems as well. If the reader is not at all interested in fantasy then this is not a book for them. This is also the second book of the Dreamhunter duet, but the beginning of the book allows you to understand what happened in book 1 so that you are not left out of the loop.
