Description: We closed our eyes, crossed our fingers, turned around three times, got the big end of the turkey bone, blew out our birthday candles, and made the same wish each time...and it came true! Kate DiCamillo is coming to Wild Rumpus! It would probably take a whole book to list all of the great stuff she's done, like winning a Newbery Medal for The Tale of Despereaux and a Newbery Honor for Because of Winn-Dixie. She also writes books about a pig you might know named Mercy Watson. If we're lucky, she might tell us about her newest book, The Magician's Elephant.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by
Kingsolver, Barbara,
Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year,
Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor,
poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on
asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she
and her family try to eat locally as much as they
can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s
Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.”
—Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR |
