BIS Book Award Nominee 2009-2010
This one was pretty cute. I think there might be a rush of kids wanting guinea pigs after. Not quite as good as the sneaker one, which is my favorite of the four Stink books.

Liked Julia, thought the premise of the story was thin.

I liked this, but not for the orphans. I liked it because of the old-fashioned feel to it. I wish more books were written that way.

Ballots for Belva: The True Story of a Woman's Race for the Presidency
Courtney A. Martin, Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen
Long before Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin and Geraldine Ferraro, there was Belva Lockwood who ran for president before women could even vote. She also was the first woman to argue a case before the Supreme Court, she fought for the ability of the first black man to argue before the Supreme Court, and she represented the Eastern Cherokee Indian Nation over the "Trail of Tears" that they were forced to march and won them five million dollars. I had never heard of her until this book, but I think she's someone that everyone should know.
(Sadly, not a Smithie. She went to Genesee College, which is now Syracuse University.)
