Harbor Me
Author: Jacqueline Woodson
Publisher: Nancy Paulsen Books
Date of Publication: August 2018
“The Familiar popped like a bubble above our heads. But we held tight to our knapsacks and kept on walking.” Heart-wrenchingly realistic, this piece of writing will make you think and feel about what we value and how we look at one another. Harbor Me is the gripping story of six sixth-graders, all deemed “special,” because of their academic challenges. All of them have faced hardships in their lives. But when they are forced into a room together, their stories unite them, and help them find strength in each other and themselves. A wonderful pick for any middle grade reader who enjoys realistic fiction, heart-warming experiences, and intriguing thoughts.
