I 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.

I 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.

Sounds 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!

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.

To Emma: Well, some people are wimps and some are not. Like Mrs. Herblin said “To some they are scary but to others they are not!” So that proves Emma wrong! From Ms. Herblin: No one is wrong, no one is right. We all have our own opinions!

Comment on Linda Sue Park by Melissa

When Linda Sue Park came to visit, she was Great!!
My favorite part was when she said on your first birthday, the chinnese parents would set out some things like, a pen, a cake, a dollar bill and ept.
Linda said that the thing her mother said that she picked was the pen, which means that she will be a writer, and what do you know? She is a writer now!!The funny part about the 1st B-Day thing is that most Chinese parents push the cake back because if the baby picks the cake it will become fat and lazy!! Plus she also said that her brother picked the dollar bill, and that now he is a plasic surgent. Plasitc Surgents make a lot of money. But I just really love the fact that she made time to come to or school and talk to us about her books and about her life.

Comment on Realistic Fiction : Junie B., First Grader : Dumb Bunny by Melissa

When I read the book, Dumb Bunny, I didn’t really like it. And as I got further in the book, to me, it just got dummer and dummer!! All of the rest of the Junie B. Jones books were really good, to me, but Dumb Bunny just didn’t intrest me. But that’s just my opinion, I bet a lot of other people/ kids loved the latest Junie B. Jones book, Dumb Bunny!!

My all time favorite book would have to be “Harry Potter, and the Deathly Hallows. I checked it out on my library card at the Houston Public Library. When I first started reading it I didn’t like it, but as I got further into it I LOVED IT!!!
