Book Review: Like Mandarin
It’s hard finding beauty in the badlands of Washokey, Wyoming, but 14-year-old Grace Carpenter knows it’s not her mother’s pageant obsessions, or the cowboy dances adored by her small-town classmates. True beauty is wild-girl Mandarin Ramey: 17, shameless and utterly carefree. Grace would give anything to be like Mandarin. When they’re united for a project, they form an unlikely, explosive friendship, packed with nights spent skinny-dipping in the canal, liberating the town’s animal-head trophies, and searching for someplace magic. Grace plays along when Mandarin suggests they run away together. Blame it on the crazy-making wildwinds plaguing their Badlands town. Because…

Sometimes…
I get home from work and I’m dead tired. It’s been a long day, a long week, and all I want to do is curl up under a blanket until morning. On these days I ponder why I work with kids. I wonder why I choose to go in to work every day, why I choose to pull my hair out and go crazy. Why do I do it? Then I open my backpack and find this…. I know that’s a horrible picture, but basically it’s a note from one of my first graders that is written in adorable little…
