		<description><![CDATA[My One Hundred Adventures, by Polly Horvath • Schwartz &#38; Wade Books, 2008. 272 Pages.

		<description><![CDATA[Dancing Through the Snow, by Jean Little • Kane Miller, 2009
Originally published by Scholastic Canada in 2007, Dancing Through the Snow tells the story of Min (don&#8217;t call her Minerva), a &#8220;foundling&#8221; buffeted from foster home to foster home after being abandoned in the washroom of the Canadian Nation Exhibition when she was three.
When her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Awake and Dreaming, by Kit Pearson, Puffin Books, 1996.
Even the happiest child longs, sometimes, for another life. And Theo is far from happy: she&#8217;s the perpetual new kid, moving from school to school while her mother, Rae, struggles to pay the bills and seems more concerned with her own loneliness than she is with Rae&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inferno, by Robin Stevenson • Orca Publishing
Readers of this blog (if I do decide to make my Reading Log posts public instead of just saving them for my professor), have probably already guessed that I&#8217;m a little obsessed with Dante&#8217;s Divine Comedy. I&#8217;ve got more translations than anyone should reasonably own, I turn to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Handful of Time, by Kit Pearson • Puffin Books, 1987
Summer homes might just be the most time travel friendly places on earth. Unmoored from the everyday plodding passage of time, they exist in an odd summer world, where long days and idleness conspire against chronological time and generations blur together in a sea of [...]]]></description>
