Looking for a book my daughter and wife could read together as part of her Mother’s Day gift. My daughter listed Island of the Blue Dolphin, Because of Wynn Dixie, and Wonder as her favorites. She recently started reading Harry Potter and enjoying that in class.
My wife likes more autobiography type books, and has been disinterested in anything fantasy like Harry Potter.
