We Can't All Be Rattlesnakes by Patrick Jennings When Crusher the snake is captured, her only thought is to escape but as time goes by and she befriends the other inmates of the "zoo," she realizes that freedom also means leaving companions behind.

Like a Dick King-Smith tale with a bit more bite-and a certain amount of biting-this animal-narrated episode casts a satiric light on human behavior but leaves room for compassion, too...Readers will enjoy her snake's-eye view of human foibles and cheer her on her way when a chance for release comes at last.

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.
