South Carolina Book Award Nominees 2011-2012

Here is the link to the SC Book Award Nominees for 11-12. I have not read all of them but I am going to start now. http://www.scasl.net/bookawards/bookawards1112.pdf

Some of my favorites are: My Garden by Kevin Henkes, LMNO Peas by Kevin Baker, Miss Brooks Loves Books (And I Don't) by Barbara Bottner, and The Christmas Genie by Dan Gutman (I LOVE this one!).

Next on my reading list is The Small Adventures of Popeye and Elvis. (Recommended chapter book- grades 3-6.)


Nothing ever happens in Fayette, South Carolina. That’s what Popeye thinks, anyway. His whole life, everything has just been boring, boring, boring. But things start to look up when the Jewells’ Holiday Rambler makes a wrong turn and gets stuck in the mud, trapping Elvis and his five rowdy siblings in Fayette for who knows how long. Then things get even better when something curious comes floating down the creek—a series of boats with secret messages—and Popeye and Elvis set out on a small adventure. Who could possibly be sending the notes and what do they mean?
