What's Mrs. U reading now?

I am reading "Bull Rider" by Suzanne Morgan Williams. The cover reads "Eight seconds of danger...a lifetime of honor". It's a great teaser. All I know so far is it's about a boy who's a skateboarder whose family is full of bull riders. Not sure if this is my taste, but I always read with my students in mind, thinking about who would like it.

"Shine On Coconut Moon" was a fantastic! It hits on so many topics that I'm surprised the author does each one well. The main theme is the reaction by Americans to anyone of the Muslim (or perceived Muslim) faith after 9/11. It is told from a teenage girl's point of view. While she's dealing with her own typical teenage dramas - mom, friends, boyfriend, peer pressure - she now is hypersensitive to how people treat anyone of the Indian culture. It taught ME a lot, which is the best type of reading - a great story that informs me without being didactic or preachy. I highly recommend this book to 7th and 8th graders and adults.
