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!)

Of course, there’s nothing Harriet doesn’t like about Marble Island, the small island off the coast of California where her Nanu runs a cozy little bed and breakfast. And nobody doesn’t love Moneypenny, Nanu’s old basset hound. But Harriet doesn’t like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives

Parent Book Club - Guest Post

Welcome, my friends, to my first ever GUEST POST! My fabulous school librarian (aka @ReaderRoberts ) decided to hold a parent's book club this year, to give parents ideas for getting kids reading. This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. 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. The Only and Only Ivan , The
