What have I read in my latest 50 nights of reading???<\/p>\n

There are three books I read recently that are now in our school library.\u00a0 I highly recommend them all.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

Starry River of the Sky by Grace Lin is the companion book to Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, a Newbery Honor Book.\u00a0 It is part mystery, part folk tale, part fantasy.\u00a0 School Library Journal <\/a>described it as “a work that is nothing short of enchanting”.\u00a0 I recommend this book for students in grades 3-7.<\/p>\n

\"Product<\/p>\n

Peter Nimble and his Fantastic Eyes by Jonathan Auxier is a fantasy, adventure that I couldn’t put down.\u00a0 According to Quill and Quire<\/a>, “Auxier\u2019s novel contains plenty of scenes of the sort that make adults squirm with distaste while children wriggle with delight. Magic abounds, but is treated in a matter-of-fact manner, and the informal narrative style, reminiscent of Lemony Snicket, is entertaining”.\u00a0 I would recommend this book to students in grades 4-7.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

Leisl and Po by Lauren Oliver is another fantasy, complete with ghosts, alchemy and a very wicked stepmother. I was transported to another world as I read this novel and hope that other readers join me.\u00a0 This book would be a great read aloud by teachers or parents for grades 3 and up.\u00a0 Older students who like ghost stories could read this on their own.<\/p>\n

What have you read lately?\u00a0 Share your great reads below or come and see me in the library and let me know what books you love.<\/p>\n
