 | Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos, Kristin Sergel, Marni Webb
Edith Wharton called this the great American novel. It's the story in diary form of the shameless gold-digger Lorelei Lee of Little Rock, who carouses through Europe, charming every man she meets from the Prince of Wales to Doctor Froyd. Then she returns home to marry an American millionaire. This delightfully nutty novel was made into a musical starring Carol Channing onstage and Marilyn Monroe in the movies, and includes the song Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend .

 | Untitled Middle Grade Haddix Novel by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Fourteen-year-old Lori feels the only thing she and her older brother, Chuck, have in common is their inspirational speaker mother--and even that connection is tenuous at best. Ever since the death of their father eight years ago, Lori has felt more and more disconnected from Chuck, and so she is less then thrilled when her mother arranges for the siblings to accompany her on one of her speaking tours. As the trio spend time together, they find a way to come to terms with the stress and unhappiness that pervades their family life. This story is told in alternating chapters by Lori and Chuck with occasional commentary from their mother. AUTHOR: Margaret Peterson Haddix
