Welcome to this week’s episode of the Highly Recommended Series. Every Thursday we take a quick look at something I think you’ll love. What will that something be? It might be a compelling book for your students, a power-packed activity to try ASAP, my favorite new episode of a podcast I think your class will love, a free resource you might have missed, or even a recipe for your next Monday night or a city here in Eastern Europe I want to share with you! This will be a fun, free-wheeling series that you can tune into with just a few minutes to spare. 

This week we dive into a beautiful novel-in-verse, Starfish, by Lisa Phipps. This is a great one for the choice reading shelf in your ELA classroom or for middle grade novel-in-verse book clubs. 

Check out Starfish at Bookshop.org.
