__Scribbler of Dreams__ by Mary E. Pearson ISBN: 0-15-202320-8 c2001 223 pages

Good sections to read aloud: pp. 23-24 where Kaitlin is describing how horrible her day at school is, but then how it turns around for the better so suddenly when she sees that guy she knows as Bram out in the courtyard again!

Summary: Kaitlin and her sister have to start school this fall at the public school...someplace they would rather not be, but since their father ended up in prison for involuntary manslaughter, money has been tight. Kaitlin doesn’t want, or expect, to make any new friends at the school. During lunch her first few days she finds a quiet spot in the courtyard to “scribble” in her journal. She notices another boy always is in the same area drawing and one day he introduces himself and shows her what he’s been drawing...her! Bram, this new boy, and Kaitlin hit it off and began dating. But, when she finds out who he really is....the son of the man her father murdered, she doesn’t know what to do. Should she tell Bram who she really is?
