Welcome to Moose Street Lena Rosen is eleven years old, and her life is pretty typical. From babysitting her little sister to spending time with friends to sticking up for the class outcast to sneaking off to buy candy from the corner store, she is just like all of the other kids on her block. Except for one thing—she’s Jewish. Lena’s family is the only one on all of Moose Street that isn’t Catholic or Protestant. “You’re the ones who killed Christ,” her classmates tell her. Lena knows that they’re wrong, but she can’t help feeling different. Anne Mazer’s captivating novel of youth, difference, and acceptance is a must-read.

There's a moose in the backyard! Luke's mom and dad want it to go away, but the moose has other plans! Luke gets up early one Saturday morning and finds a moose in the backyard. He wakes up his dad, and then his mom, and each declares that "moose never come on the farm" -- only to be surprised by the moose itself! Mom tries to shoo it away with a broom -- but the moose eats it. Dad tries to scare it away with a hose -- but the moose takes a nice bath. Luke feeds the moose carrots and decides to keep it in his treehouse, until his sister comes along, with a surprising solution to this unusual problem! Moose! was inspired by a young boy from Cape Breton Island.
