July 2012 Cover Love

(George) by E.L. Konigsburg

I've never read the famous From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler but I can say that I read E.L. Konigsburg's (George). If this book is any indication of how the Mixed-Up Files is I need to go read that book now!

Clara Lee and the Apple Pie Dream by Jenny Han with pictures by Julia Kuo
