7. Book Pick: I have been trying to make my personal book pick appropriate for middle readers and YA readers as well. My Hawaii book pick is a great family read. It is Soul Surfer. Soul Surfer is the true story of Bethany Hamilton the surfer who lost her arm in a vicious shark attack. You can find this book on the Idaho Digital Consortium.
We also have the book as well as the DVD at the Library available for curbside pick up.
