Bronte's Book Club by Kristiana Gregory Twelve-year-old Bronte Bella has just moved to sunny California from her mountain town in New Mexico. Living right by a beach is wonderful, but word-loving, quirky Bronte is worried that she won't fit in. She decides to start a book club to make new friends, but at first, no one comes! When three other girls do start to show up, Bronte fears that the club will be a disaster. Two of the girls hate each other, secrets and gossip threaten to ruin the group, and they aren't even talking about the book, Bronte's favorite: Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell. Was this book club a really bad idea? Or can the girls trust each other enough to become true friends?

What is Anokaberry Annotated?
Anokaberry posted the Best Books of 2008 for Middle Grade Readers on January 9, 2009. Anokaberry is now Anokaberry Annotated. This new aspect of the blog means an accent, a tone, a personal, distinct voice may surface. This blog continues to present books published in the current year for middle grade readers but will also have editorial comment and attitude. Look for more ordered labeling for the coming year -- most obviously labeling that denotes genre: realistic fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, biography, poetry and verse, folklore/folktale and fantasy. Next January's list will honor books of excellence by genre.
