Marisol Moreno grew up in a low-income Mexican family in El Paso, Texas. She faced many labels in school such as "at-risk" and "limited English proficiency" but found cultural wealth and strength in her family. While the school system did not value her linguistic and cultural background, it was this cultural capital from her family that helped her overcome challenges and succeed in school and college. She believes her family's culture had a greater positive impact on her life than the content taught in school.

Johansen, a young girl living in Denmark
during World War II. The book opens in

arrived to occupy the small country. After
three years of living uneasily with this
occupying force, the gloves finally come off as
the German Nazis begin their campaign to
"relocate" all the Jews of Denmark. The
Danish Resistance, made up of ordinary
citizens like the Johansen family, works
steadily to smuggle the Jews out of Denmark
and over the sea to nearby Sweden.

His adventures, which figure

the dwarves, are like stepping
stones on the inner journey
Biblo must take to find his
courage. Bilbo faces trials
which again and again force
him to look deep inside
himself for the strength and
resourcefulness he needs to
complete the task expected of
him.
48. The
Pinballs
by Betsy Byars
5th Grade
Study Skills
Carlie, Harvey and Thomas J., three foster
children, have been taken in by the Masons who
have had many other foster children in the past.
It's Carlie who compares the children to
pinballs, controlled by external forces, and at the
mercy of fate. Carlie is tough; she has been abused
by her step-fathers and is convinced that people
are not to be trusted. The master of insult, she
maintains her tough exterior.
Harvey has two broken legs, having been run over
by an alcoholic father after being abandoned by
his mother. He is convinced that his father has kept
his mother from communicating with him since
she ran away to find herself in a commune.
Thomas J was also abandoned; he was found as a
toddler by elderly twin sisters whose minimal love
and care for him has ended when both of them are
hospitalized with broken hips. He is inarticulate
and overly anxious to please. The Masons provide
a supportive environment in which the children
learn to care for each other and begin to
experience love and trust. This is a
believable, funny and touching novel.

by Katherine Applegate
5th Grade
Study Skills
Ivan is an easygoing gorilla. Living at the Exit 8
Big Top Mall and Video Arcade, he has grown
accustomed to humans watching him through
the glass walls of his domain. He rarely misses
his life in the jungle. In fact, he hardly ever
thinks about it at all.
Instead, Ivan thinks about TV shows he's seen
and about his friends Stella, an elderly
elephant, and Bob, a stray dog. But mostly
Ivan thinks about art and how to capture the
taste of a mango or the sound of leaves with
color and a well-placed line.
Then he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken
from her family, and she makes Ivan see their
home—and his own art—through new eyes.
When Ruby arrives, change comes with
her, and it's up to Ivan to make it a change for
the better.
