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.
