Favorite Books: I loved the book Jumped In by Patrick Flores-Scott. It's about two teenage boys who are trying to fly under the radar in their high school, but their English teacher decides to pair them up for a Slam Poetry contest and they learn to find their voice.
I also liked the book A Trick of the Light by Lois Metzger. This book looks at the world of an anorexic teenage boy, told by the narrator who describes the lying "voice" inside his head that tells him "You can be strong. You can be fit. Strong mind, strong body"... if he doesn't eat.
Meet Mrs. Schmidt
Hi, I'm Mrs. Schmidt and I am the librarian at Glen Meadow Middle School. I have been a 5th, 6th, and 8th grade language arts teacher for 30 years and I love reading!! My favorite genre is Historical Fiction, but I'll read anything that sounds interesting! I also know a ton of books and can recommend a book to most readers that I'll think they'll enjoy. Come to the library and ask for suggestions! I'd be happy to help!
