[CALIBK12] H.S. Read-Aloud

[Headley Vicki]

My favorite new book is, Don¹t Call Me Ishmael  by Michael  Gerard Bauer and
I had my aides ( guys)doubled over with laughter.  It is about bullying and
though predictable (somewhat) it is a WONDERFUL READ ALOUD.  It has a lovely
moral:  you don¹t get even, you live well.  You ³protect² the innocent by
caring about them and being part of their support system.  All together
yummy and the dialogue is THE BEST!!  This is a surefire winner if you want
a good read aloud!!  (not a bad lead in to Moby Dick, either)
