He has also become the favorite target of the class bully. When he suffers a seizure at school and ends up in the hospital, his only alternative to wearing a protective helmet is to get a therapy dog, to which his mother reluctantly agrees. However, Parker Elvis Pembroke IV, a Newfoundland, is not just a therapy dog; he is a talking dog whom only Benji can hear. With his arrival, Benji’s life starts to change dramatically for the better.

JJJ Book Club Pick For April: 'This Is What Happy Looks Like' by Jennifer E. Smith

JJJ Book Club Pick For April: 'This Is What Happy Looks Like' by Jennifer E. Smith

Ever write an email and miss a letter or number and it gets sent to the wrong person? What if that email ‘accidentally’ ended up in a famous celebrity’s inbox? Or, if the celebrity was the one emailing you. We can all dream, right?

But that’s exactly what happens in Jennifer E. Smith‘s new book and our pick for April, “This Is What Happy Looks Like“.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT? When teenage movie star Graham Larkin accidentally sends small town girl Ellie O’Neill an email about his pet pig, the two 17-year-olds strike up a witty and unforgettable correspondence, discussing everything under the sun, except for their names or backgrounds. Then Graham finds out that Ellie’s Maine hometown is the perfect location for his latest film, and he decides to take their relationship from online to in-person. But can a star as famous as Graham really start a relationship with an ordinary girl like Ellie? And why does Ellie want to avoid the media’s spotlight at all costs?

WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT: Think of it. A celeb emails you, turns his new movie upside down to film in your hometown after you start an email pen-palship. Every one’s dream right? But then things get just a bit complicated for Graham and Ellie. Pick up a copy and see if the two make it through the drama and let hashtag #HappyLooksLike on Twitter.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: “The Elite” by Kiera Cass, “The 5th Wave” by Rick Yancey, “The Ward” by Jordana Frankel, and “The Hero’s Guide to Storming the Castle” by Christopher Healy.

JJJ Book Club: Kristin Cashore's 'Graceling' Optioned for Big Screen

Another one of the JJJ Book Club‘s fave series is headed to the big screen — Kristin Cashore‘s “Graceling” series.

Variety reports that Reliance Entertainment has acquired the film rights for the young adult trilogy.

“Graceling” summary: In a world where people born with an extreme skill—called a Grace—are feared and exploited, Katsa carries the burden of the skill even she despises: the Grace of killing. She lives under the command of her uncle Randa, King of the Middluns, and is expected to execute his dirty work, punishing and torturing anyone who displeases him.

When she first meets Prince Po, who is Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change.She never expects to become Po’s friend. She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace—or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away…a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone
