Brainstorm 107: Books ICS Loves 2

This post is going up a day earlier than normal and will look a little different from normal. As we enter into our spring break, I decided to do another Books ICS Loves so that our whole school community could get involved in the book recommendations for break reading. I asked teachers and staff at our school to volunteer to answer three questions (included below). These are their responses. Click on the book's title to read reviews and find out more about it. Enjoy!

What's one book you read recently and want to tell other readers to go snatch up?
