Happy Thursday! #tbt features Hound Dog True by Linda Urban. Fifth grader Maddie has just moved yet again and she is not looking forward to being the new girl at school for the fifth time. She's painfully shy and will do anything to avoid recess and lunch. Luckily, her mother moved back to her hometown and her Uncle Potluck is "Director of Custodial Affairs," aka school custodian. Maybe she can become his apprentice?

This short, character-driven novel has heart. It was published in 2011 and is perfect for readers who enjoy a gentle read with memorable characters.
