Hi!

We are starting with "Lily's Crossing." There were a few books more
popular on the summer survey the kids took, but for length, readability,
and adaptability for a decade study, this seemed the best way to start the
year. I'm thinking of doing either 'The Endless Steppe" or "Anne Frank
Remembered" for the first read-aloud book.

Take care,
