Do you like mystery novels?
What about mysterious artwork - missing and unidentifiable?
Does history of WWII intrigue you?
Do you enjoy reading about pesky neighbors and kids who seem to know better than the adults around them?
If you answered yes to many (or all!) of the above, then Under the Egg is the book for you. (Yes, it's geared toward 5-6th graders, but it's definitely a worthwhile, page-turning read.) Surprisingly enough, I just handed my copy off to one of my 6th grade boys - I think he'll enjoy all the Monuments' Men stuff.
Man, I wish my next book didn't have to be for professional development...
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
