I just did my good deed for the day (week or month, maybe?)
In the scheme of the world, sending a book to someone who needs it may not seem very significant. I sent off my copy of Lynn Rae Perkins' Criss Cross to the Quezon Public Library in the Philippines. Cost me $9 via registered mail. But it's ok. I just couldn't seem to get into the book. I'd borrowed it from the library earlier in the year but couldn't get past chapter 4. I then bought the book while back in KL not knowing it was the same book (duh!). I still couldn't get past the first few chapters, despite it being a Newbery award winner.
I hope the kids in Quezon city enjoy the book.
