Eleanor & Park
Rowell, R. (2013). Eleanor and park. NY: St. Martin's Griffin. In this Printz Honor book, Eleanor comes from an abusive home and the kids at school make fun of her red hair and secondhand clothes. Park is from a nice, middle class family and befriends Eleanor on the bus by sharing his comics and music. They end up falling in love. Readers will be rooting for their friendship and love story. It is wonderful to see Eleanor getting to have some normalcy in her life when she visits Park's family. When things go bad with Eleanor's stepdad, the reader will be crying along with Eleanor and Park. As soon as I finished reading this book, I wanted to read it again.
