Reading from the Porch {intro to my newest read}

In honor of the newest book that I am diving head deep in, The Boy on the Porch, I am spending the night reading on my front porch while my husband and daughter splash around in the sprinkler.

     I had the pleasure of listening to several author studies discussing some amazing, award winning authors, one of whom was Sharon Creech. The presenter noted several of Sharon's books, but spoke most highly of her newest release, The Boy on the Porch. The Boy on the Porch tells the story of a non-verbal boy who has been abandoned on the porch of an amazing family who takes him in as one of their own.

     Being the nerd (or smart jock as I like to say) that I am, I ran straight to my Kindle and made the $6.99 purchase. It has been totally worth it so far, but I will elaborate more in the next few days as I have the chance to finish.

     If you want to hear a little more about The Boy on the Porch, listen to Newberry Medalist Sharon Creech read the first page here, The Boy on the Porch {Sharon Creech Read Aloud}.
