Author visit!!

One of the Texas Bluebonnet Award list authors visited our school today!  Peggy Eddleman is visiting our school district from her home state of Utah and we learned a lot about her, her books Sky Jumpers and The Forbidden Flats (Sky Jumpers #2).  We also learned about her writing process and some interesting personal facts as well.

View the Sky Jumpers book trailer:

NOTE: Miss Caddell is the queen of the library but not the Internet so be careful looking around and always get your parent's permission before you go online.  Please don't sign up for ANYTHING without letting an adult know about it!

Dead City #3: Dark Days is out!!

One of our favorite visiting authors, James Ponti, has just released the last book in the Dead City trilogy.  We can't wait to read it!! Read carefully - there may be mention of certain Mansfield teachers and librarians inside.

Hungry for more like Hunger Games?

The Hunger Games trilogy is wonderful to read but not appropriate for our K-4th library so I thought I would spotlight the author of the series, Suzanne Collins, and the series she wrote before Kat and crew: The Underland Chronicles. The first book in the series is Gregor the Overlander and it is awesome!
At one point, while reading the second book in the series, Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane, I was so shocked by something that happened that I had to put the book down.  But, of course, soon enough, I picked it right back up and finished that book and the next three.  Love them!  I think you will, too, if you like fantasy and adventure stories.
I know these books already have fans at our school.  I just looked at our library catalog and all five are checked!  Fantastic!!
