Thanksgiving

A parent volunteer recommended Thanks for Thanksgiving, a book that she says is a traditional read at their house in November. We used some of Julie Markes's fun rhyming text on our bulletin board in the library and paired it with student photography that illustrated some of the things that we all are thankful for. Don't miss this one. It might become a yearly read at your house, too.

If you liked Harry Potter...

After eyeing it on the shelf for over a year, I finally read Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo. Fans of Harry Potter are sure to like this one. Charlie is a ten year old boy who discovers that he has the ability to hear the voices of people in photographs. Charlie and his friends try to find a girl who has been missing for years. The book is full of mystery, suspense, and magic. If you read it, be sure to let me know your thoughts. Would you like to read more of this series?
