The theme for this new school year fits right in with our blog which will be starring good books, voracious readers, and fun happenings in the media center. Let's hear from you. When you discover a wonderful book --- and isn't that one of life's really good moments? ---fill out a form, I'll post it, and we'll all share, share, share another great reading adventure.
Hey! I've already had one of those "really good moments" thanks to 7th grader, Rachel Friedli.
She pulled this book off the shelf a few days ago and said, "Read
this. You'll love it." She was so right!It's a small book. You can almost read it in one sitting. It took me two--- riding from Logan to Salt and then Salt Lake to Logan. (I wasn't driving).
War Horse, by Michael Morpurgo. Get a copy and start reading!
I've since discovered that the stage production is playing on broadway, and the movie version will be out in December.
You'll learn much from this book---about horses, about World War I, about the tender hearts of children, and about the sadness of separation and the joy of reunion. Thanks for the great reading tip, Rachel.
I'm off to buy more copies for our library.
Keep turning pages!
