Elizabeth recommends The Forbidden Library by Django Wexler. This book is about girl named Alice. When her father's ship goes down at sea, she is sent to live with her Uncle Geryon. Although his large library is off limits for Alice, she is lured into the library by a talking cat. When she opens one of the books, she finds herself inside the book where she needs to defeat the creatures within in order to get back home. Elizabeth says, "It is mysterious, action-packed, and exciting. It is a very good book!" This book can be located at the Volusia County Public Library in DeBary and Deltona.
Chance just finished reading Shoot-out by Mike Lupica. This book is about Jake who is a star soccer player. He ends up on the worst team! It is extremely difficult for him as his team continues to get beat throughout the season. Jake learns what it means to be a good leader for his team both on and off the field. Chance said, "I like this book because it is a story about a kid who loves soccer. He tries so hard and then one day it all of his hard work pays off." This book can be found at Mrs. Baker's classroom library along with many other books by Mike Lupica.

Did you know that we have a fantastic public library? I know that many of you have used the public library before, but if you have not, you should give it a try. Sometimes they have books that are not in our school library or in my classroom library. If you are looking for a specific book, you can use their website to find out if the book is available before you go. The public libraries in Deltona and DeLand both have huge children and teen sections with lots of books. Use the following link to explore our public library and discover what all is available. http://volusialibrary.org/
