My apologies for any slightly fuzzy pics, but it seems that scans of some of my old favourites are hard to come by! To start off a week of my best-loved chapter books and early readers, I've been dying to share Natalie Savage Carlson's "The Half Sisters" (1970) and its sequel, "Luvvy and the Girls" (1971), illustrated by Thomas di Grazia. I remember adoring and so relating to these two heart-achingly touching stories about 12-year-old Luvena Savage, desperate to be a "Big Girl" like her oh-so-elegant older half-sisters, but always lumped in with the "Little Girls", her two small siblings. Until, that is, she finally gets to go away to the longed-for convent school . . . which is not quite what she'd expected! If you're a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder, I cannot recommend these enough!! ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ #NatalieSavageCarlson #ThomasDiGrazia @harpercollinsch @harperkids @harpercollinsca #harpertrophy #childhoodunplugged #childhoodclassic #reading #bookish #booksaboutsisters #childrensliterature #bookcollector #mustread #historicalfiction #childrenshistoricalfiction #oldbooks #chapterbooks #readingismagic #kidsbookshelf #vintagekidsbooks #vintagechapterbooks #middlegrade #bestofbookworms #growingreaders https://www.instagram.com/p/BzWuGFbHYjF/?igshid=1u9d35vux8l6k

I am always asked to recommend books for young adults, usually by parents looking to recommend something for their kids to read. It is usually something I am somewhat nervous in doing. I am not sure that I understand the lives that most teenagers have these days. But there are books that are written for that age group that I enjoy. And The Death of Usby Alice Kuipers is certainly one of those…
