On the Moors

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

What made it all the scarier was that the castle did not stay in the same place. Sometimes it was a tall black smudge on the moors to the northwest, sometimes it reared above the rocks to the east, and sometimes it came right downhill to sit in the heather only just beyond the last farm to the north. You could see it actually moving sometimes, with smoke pouring out from the turrets in dirty gray gusts.

Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel November 2022: It's There in Black and White features the book MAXI'S SECRETS by Lynn Plourde

Timminy’s family moves just in time to start middle school. His consolation prize is Maxi—a gentle giant of a dog who turns out to be deaf.

Unfortunately, being new in town and a bit of a runt makes you perfect bully bait, so Timminy spends a little too much time getting shoved into lockers and feeling sorry for himself.

While Timminy is determined to do all he can to help Maxi, caring for the Great Pyrenees is full of some much-needed lessons for Timminy.
