Brenna B. (This was a collection of 4 short stories about how a library card changed the lives of so many people. I thought the first story about the wanna-be hoodlum was the best of the four. As a middle school teacher, I would certainly recommend this book to my students (except that I teach history so my usual recommendations are historical fiction or non-fiction books).
