Just Like Me
Camp might be just what Julia needs
Who eats Cheetos with chopsticks? Avery and Becca, my “Chinese Sisters,” that’s who. We’re not really sisters — we were just adopted from the same orphanage. And we’re nothing alike. They sing Chinese love songs on the bus to summer camp, and I pretend like I don’t know them. Hardcover | Kindle book

By Wayne S. Walker on June 19, 2013
Format: Paperback
Eleven-year-old Kent Conner lives with his mother Maidey in the small village of Chilham where each spring, for hundreds of year, the herons have returned. It is in southern England, on the River Stour in the county of Kent, not far from Canterbury where Maidey works as a housekeeper. His father, also named Kent Conner, was an American serviceman from Virginia who was stationed at Lympne in England, married Maidey, and then was killed in an accident when Kent was just four. As a result of their loss, Maidey has closed her heart to love and Kent, though he does well in school, thinks of himself as Nobody. Mr. Conner's body is buried in the local churchyard, but Maidey never goes there.

Then, one fall, into their lives comes an artist named John Rivven, who has moved into Beekeep, a formerly vacant cottage in Chilham. He meets Kent when the boy is walking home from school and starts telling him all kinds of stories about the herons, the ancient Britons, and the local mulberry trees which were the source for mulberry trees planted in Virginia. He keeps asking Kent to meet him again "the next fine day." Later he invites Kent and Maidey to share Christmas dinner with him. After the first of the year, John leaves to follow the herons to Africa but promises to return. Maidey receives a mysterious letter from him and begins talking about quitting her job and moving away from Chilham. Following that she becomes very ill. Why did Maidey react to the letter in the way she did? What will happen to her and Kent? And when the herons return, will they bring good fortune or bad?

We dearly love the books of Elizabeth Yates (December 6, 1905 - July 29, 2001).

Format: Paperback
I would take this book with me if my house caught on fire. I keep it by my bed! This outstanding treasure of children's literature is a too well-kept secret--a captivating story for readers of all ages. A rare treat for the senses, its descriptions are so vivid the reader can feel the wind and breathe the air. A story of deep pathos--quiet, not high adventure, but with a main character who is completely endearing. A beautiful story which resonates the remarkable skill of it's Newbery-winning author.
