Stargirl

Posted by alannah January 29, 2008 at 3:18 pm · Filed under Fiction

Wow!!! Stargirl was an awsome book. It grabs you’re attention and you just have to read and read! It is a story about being true to who you are, no matter what other people think of you. It applies to real life in many ways. It relates because kids are drawn into being everyone else but who they are. Clothes, addititudes and all are the things that make us feel popular and it is wrong. Read this book to find out all of the lessons that Stargirl and Leo can teach you.

Is anyone reading the Series of Unfortunate Events Series? If you haven’t read them yet, you might want to. They are filled with suspense and full of adventure. But, Count Olaf always seems to be after that Baudelaire fortune. Will he ever give them a break? Will their unfortunate events ever end?

Reading over the weekend!

Posted by rlh January 18, 2008 at 8:18 pm · Filed under Fiction

Hi Curtin!  Anyone reading and blogging over the long weekend? Hope so! I’m starting a new book for my “Book Club” called The Half Moon.  I’m eager to read it since I have heard all good things. It is new, still only in hardback, that I have to BUY it (usually I go to JVB). :(

If anyone writes (blogs) over the weekend you get “Bonus Points” for the 3rd marking period. Remember, your response must be about your book.

Award winners

Posted by MrsBrosan January 18, 2008 at 10:39 am · Filed under Realistic Fiction | Fiction | Award Winners

On Monday morning, librarians from across the country gathered in Philadelphia to discuss professional issues and to announce the winners of the American Library Association’s book awards, the Caldecott Medal for the best picture book, the Newberry Medal for the best book for children, the Printz Award for the best Young Adult book, and the Coretta Scott King Award for an African-American author and illustrator of outstanding books. Several other awards were also given. You can read about the Newberry winner, Laura Amy Schlitz’s Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!: Voices from a Medieval Village and the other winners in this article from School Library Journal.

I need to order this book but will have it soon. We do have the Coretta Scott King winner Elijah of Buxton in the library already. It’s by Christopher Paul Curtis, who also won the Newberry medal a few years ago for his book The Watson’s Go To Birmingham-1963.
