Our 4th grade Wise Owl
reading group is reading the book, Touch Blue by Newbury Honor author, Cynthia
Lord. This fiction story is based upon a true story of a small island in Maine
that takes in foster students to keep their schoolhouse open. In this book, the
main character, Tess and her family take a chance on Aaron, a 13 year old
trumpet player who has been bounced from home to home. This warm-
hearted story offers a thoughtful and humorous view about what it is like to
belong and how lucky we feel when we do.
The students prepared
questions for Robin Hough, a Beverly foster mom, pictured here with one of her
foster children, a year old boy.
