Is Anyone Out There?
I stopped writing because no one was reading or so it seemed. Since someone just added some comments, I’m back! What is everyone reading this summer? I’m making my way through the Bluebonnet Books first. So far I’ve enjoyed Lawn Boy by Gary Paulsen, The Thing about Georgie by Lisa Graff , and One-handed Catch by Mary Jane Auch . I’m currently starting Atherton by Patrick Carman. I really enjoyed his series The Land of Elyon. Is anyone using their Public Library Card? I hope so! I’m currently traveling but we’ve visited both book stores and the local public library. Whatever you are reading, I hope it is helping you escape the heat!

This is a really cool blog. I just ran into it, and I have to say it’s really well kept and nicely put together. As far as my book, I’m reading A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle. It’s a good read, that is really changing the way I look at the world now.
Comment bySounds like there are some good Bluebonnet books for this year. I have read How to Steal A Dog, but I have a ways to go to catch up to you! Anxious to hear which ones you really like!
Comment byI love, love, love the The Thing about Georgie and I think the kids are loving it too. I’ve run into a few of my students at the public library this summer and that’s what they’ve talked about the most. I think Atherton is a great read also, but now that means I’m hooked on yet another series. The Bluebonnet list has been putting the first book of series on the lists recently. I’ve just finished the last Gregor the Overlander book and the most recent Leven Thumps. Not sure I’m liking that since the summer is the only time I can catch up! Hope you’re having a good trip.
Comment byThanks for the feedback and nice words!
Comment byI too am working my way through the Bluebonnet books. Hugo Cabre and Atherton are my favs so far. They were constantly on a wait list last school year, and I know the kids love them too. I’ve ordered the Hugo Cabret Playaway and can’t wait to share with the kids this year. I’ve enjoyed Team Moon and How to Steal a Dog as well and I’m currently reading One-Handed Catch. It’s great so far. Another series I enjoyed reading is the the Benedict Society books. They’re pretty new so I don’t have much student response yet. the few that were able to read them loved them.
