Thanks so much to @fromamiddleschoolbookshelf for this awesome review of SHAKE IT OFF. Especially loved that she called it “a Hallmark movie for middle graders.” 😊😊😊

Shake it Off by Suzanne Nelson is a sweet read in more ways than one 😉. Bria, the main character, has to spend her summer in the middle of nowhere on her Aunt's dairy farm. She has no friends and no phone. It is very different than her normal life in Chicago. But, Bria begin s to see some positive s to country life and may even be able to help their struggling cafe with her crazy milkshake ideas. Nelson's books are light and easy to read. It's a bit like a Hallmark movie for middle schoolers.

Behold, my book haul from #nerdcampli! One of my favorite parts about attending author/educator/book events is supporting fellow authors and illustrators by buying their books! My home library is overflowing with books by the many talented creators in the children’s book industry. I give the books as gifts, use them as examples of craft when I teach writing workshops, and read and study them myself. I love reading other authors’ books with an “editor’s eye,” making note of tone, writing style, and various writing techniques. Reading is one of the best ways to learn as a writer, too! I can’t wait to dive into these books and give them as gifts to my family and friends!
