The Cafe Library book for April is Parrotfish by Ellen Wittlinger. Here's the summary from the library catalog: "Grady, a transgendered high school student, yearns for acceptance by his classmates and family as he struggles to adjust to his new identity as a male. "
December's Cafe Library read is Bruiser by Neal shusterman. Here's a brief summary: "Inexplicable events start to occur when sixteen-year-old twins Tennyson and Brontë befriend a troubled and misunderstood outcast, aptly nicknamed Bruiser, and his little brother, Cody." Ok, that's a pretty lame summary...I got it from my library online catalog...not my original record!
Our Cafe Library president, Carly, selected our first Cafe Library book of the 2011-2012 school year...Tuesdays with Morrie. Summary: "This novel tells the true story of retired sociology professor Morrie Schwatz and his relationship with his students. On his graduation, Mitch Albom, the narrator, tells his favorite professor, Morrie Schwartz, that he will keep in touch. However, Mitch doesn't contact his professor until one night when he sees Morrie being interviewed on T.V.. It turns out that Morrie has developed ALS, a terminal disease, and is in a wheelchair. Mitch begins to visit his professor and soon realizes that, though he has grown remarkably, he still has a lot to learn from Morrie."
