Scapegoat by Dean Hale

Scapegoat: The Story of Goat Named Oat and a Chewed-Up Coat
by Dean Hale

On the first page you're introduced to Jimmy Choat without a coat,
and the Choat's rhyming story.  Jimmy has misplaced his coat
and when the goat attempts to explain that the coat
is in the park--Jimmy turns the story around and blames it on the family
goat, Patsy Petunia Oat.

As the story unfolds Jimmy continues to have humorous, unfortunate adventures,
leaving Jimmy's scapegoat to be the family goat.

The brightly, exaggerated cartoonish characters lend to the stories
silly words and pictures--leaving you to wonder if Jimmy's "white lies" will ever be discovered.  It isn't till the end that the neighbor, who happens to speak goat,
unravels this tale.

A fun read for elementary aged boys and girls; those studying poetry.

The Night She Disappeared

The Night She Disappeared
by April Henry



Kayla is the girl next door who works at the local pizza place.  She's liked by her friends and co-workers, perpetually perky and happily becomes a friend. 

When she makes a delivery and never returns, Drew, a co-worker, must make the call to 911.  The next day at school he asks Gabie, another co-worker, if she's heard from Kayla.  And then must explain what happened...and the worst thought of all...the person who placed the order asked for Gabie originally.

Each chapter is written from the main characters perspective, lending to the suspense and action throughout the book.  **Spoiler**What I found even more intriguing was Kayla's voice and the kidnappers point of view.** There is no romanticism in the kidnapping and the potential of problems that arise, but it is not overly graphic either.  Though it is an upsetting topic, it is a fairly easy read for older readers.  It could be used for reluctant readers.  I would recommend for middle school-high school.

As someone who used to deliver pizzas once-upon-a-time and now a mother, I found the book disturbing but ultimately that is a compliment to the realness of the story.  The book is action packed and very readable.

Enjoy!
