Welcome to Turning Pages, a blog for readers at Willow Valley Middle School. The blog will be hosted by Mrs. Kerr, the school library media teacher, but everyone is invited to participate. Along with postings about happenings in the media center, we’ll review favorite books—new, old, fiction, non-fiction---anything we’ve read that we find interesting.

Speedy 6th Graders!

Before 1st hour was over yesterday, 3 excited 6th graders from Mrs. Hall's class, rushed into the media center to check out copies of Throne of Fire. Kayla McKinnon, Vincent Wiberg, and Lydia Stanford are reading it at this very minute. We'll be expecting blog posts!

Meet a couple of page turners:
Seventh grader, Christopher DuHadway just finished To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Your parents probably read this when they were your age. It's timeless and can be read again and again. Chris (who happens to be my library aide) said, "This is an interesting book about two kids whose father, a lawyer, gets a case pitting a black man's word against the word of a white girl back in 1936. It deals with racial discrimination, and I highly suggest it to you!"

Paige Farmer reads about a book a week. She loved The Maze Runner by James Dashner, a Utah author. "It's an awesome book that anyone would enjoy. I loved how the setting in a future society is so different from our society now. Through the whole book you're wondering what will happen next. This book is part of a series. Please read this book. You'll love it!"

What are you reading? Please share.

Just a reminder--our last reading party will be May 25th. Tickets due May 20th the same day all library books must be turned in. Really? It's almost over? Where did this year go? Keep "turning pages."

    I have been reading the Last Apprentice series for the past 2 weeks, I read 4-7 in just 2 weeks! I highly recommend these books because of the action, fantasy,and danger!

    When I told those sixth graders about the blog and they looked at it, they rushed to the library to get the book before I could say anything else!
