The Worst Class Trip Ever by Dave Barry

I admit, I don't read as much middle-grade as I used to. But I'm so glad I got my hands on this one! 

When 8th grader, Wyatt, sets out with his classmates on a trip to Washington, D.C., his only real objective is to impress Suzana, the hot girl who hangs out with the popular clot. What he doesn't count on is getting mixed up with a couple of terrorists with their sites on the White House. Wyatt and friends are dead set on stopping them.

I read this book in like two sittings, not wanting to put it down. Dave Barry scores with a great voice, intriguing plot, and characters that keep you laughing out loud.

Received the ARC from NetGalley.com.  

The Floating Boy and the Girl Who Couldn't Fly

I received a copy through NetGalley, and wow, I'm so glad I did! Floating Boy and the Girl Who Couldn't Fly is a unique mixture of fantasy and fun. Mary's a cool protagonist with a true teen voice. Her quirky personality and cute observations kept me smiling throughout the book. It's one of those books I wish I had written.

Highly recommend.
