Genre: Realistic Fiction
Age Recommendation: Grades 3-6
Alba was born with talipes equinovarus or a club foot, that she calls Cleo. After a number of surgeries, it seems her foot will finally be normal and she'll be able to run in the school's long distance running event. Alba's best friend is science obsessed Levi. They share a love of hummingbirds and finding ways to stay in at recess, but things are changing for Alba and their friendship. This is an interesting Silver Birch Express 2019 book with good lessons about determination, friendship and hummingbirds.
I am a book loving elementary school teacher librarian. This blog reflects my personal opinions about the books I have read and is intended to be used by students and teachers who are looking for a book recommendation.
