Joshua Dread by Lee Bacon

I just got back from a great evening at our favorite bookstore!!! I met author Lee Bacon and learned about his book, Joshua Dread.  Here's a sneak peak...  "For most people, the end of the world is a bad thing. For others, it's a career.  Our class got out of sixth period early the day my parents tried to flood the earth." So begins Lee's book about a boy whose parents are super villians. This is the first in a planned series of three books and is sure to be a great read. Lee was inspired by a favorite Doss author... Any idea who that might be?  He also shared that he is a fan of Roald Dahl and Madeline L'Engle. Two copies were generously given to us by Brenda at Random House-- how awesome is that?!? I will get these books cataloged next week. If you want to be one of the first to read Joshua Dread, leave a comment here and I will do a drawing for the first two students who will get to check out a copy. Please do not include your last name!  The rule is first name and last initial only when you are leaving a comment.



Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I just learned about a cool website that you might want to check out- Investigating the First Thanksgiving: You are the Historian. I think that you will have fun learning some Thanksgiving facts and also some great research and social studies skills. Let me know what you think.  Have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
