I normally have this post written up on Sunday, and link it up quite early Monday morning. Guess the weekend got away from me!


Be sure to stop by Teach Mentor Texts to check out other posts and add to your summer TBR pile..








Comics and Graphic Novels:
Great new monthly comic series from Dark Horse. The arc will be complete with the next issue, so it should come out as a trade shortly.
Fabulous new graphic novel that chronicles the adventures of three scientists who studied primates. Look for it on shelves June 11th (My building got it in our JLG box this past week) 
Looking for a way to convince parents and/or teachers of the value of comics and graphic novels? I wrote a post this week describing the presentation I did for parents as part of our building Parent Book Club summer kick off.


Great Science Fiction (my post describing my SciFi presentation at the same event) 

and a first ever Guest Post by my librarian Chris Roberts (aka @readerroberts) describing the whole Parent Book Club event. 



Hope you are having a happy and healthy Memorial Day weekend (if you are here in the US with me!)

Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter.

As always, I was thrilled to receive an advance copy of John David Anderson's latest book. I've enjoyed everything he's written - and I've participated in blog tours to celebrate almost all of them! Take a look at the synopsis of the book, then check out my thoughts about this latest release. FINDING ORION by John David Anderson Publishing on May 7, 2019 by Walden Pond Press, an Imprint of HarperCollins Publishers ISBN: 978-0-06-26489-6 (Overview from publisher) Sometimes you need to lose something in order to find yourself. Beloved author John David Anderson returns with a heartwarming, heartbreaking and unforgettable story of the true power and limits of family. Ron Kwirk comes from a rather odd family. His mother named him and his sisters after her favorite constellations, and his father makes funky-flavored jelly beans for a living. One sister acts as if she’s always onstage, and the other is a walking dictionary. But no one in the family is more
