As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate
Sometimes I wish I had a Crenshaw. It's a little bit of the Cat in the Hat in that there is a cat who creates situations. A little bit of like Harvey, the old movie with a man with an invisible friend.
It's about homelessness, hunger, hard times and parents who are either ill or working 2 different jobs. It's about being brave and honest. It's a good book to have in a library.
