Arianne Costner lives in the middle of the desert with her husband and four children. She is a former English teacher who believes that writers should crack up at their own jokes. When she isn’t writing, she can be found playing the piano and composing music. Her favorite kind of potato is the tater tot, with mashed potatoes coming in close second—as long as they’re not gluey. Check out her middle grade books, MY LIFE AS A POTATO and CONFESSIONS OF A CLASS CLOWN

Like, a mascot that is something totally dorky and he doesn't want anyone to know about it." My husband suggested that there are potato mascots in Idaho, and that sealed the deal. My seventh grade students at the time were obsessed with potatoes and thought they were hilarious. And they really kind of are. :) (less)

The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix
"2 stars.

Huh. Well, this was...interesting.

Confession: I requested this with my e-library weeks ago and after it came in, I didn’t reread the back of the book. So, I didn’t remember what this story was about. I thought the beginning parts were a bit " Read more of this review »
