This 2016 Caldacott Honor book and winner of the Coretta Scott King award, as a Kindle Fire book, works well. Young aspiring musicians will love this book based on the story how Trombone Shorty began his love of music.

Week Seventeen - 35 To Go

Intentionally short. Typical James Patterson fare. Mitchum not unlike Alex. This Bookshot’s unique plot makes for a great read on that boring plane/bus/boat trip.
