New Books! New Books!

This week on the blog, I will be telling you about new books in the library media center.

The Betrayal of Maggie Blair by Elizabeth Laird


"In seventeenth-century Scotland, saying the wrong thing can lead to banishment—or worse. Accused of being a witch, sixteen-year-old Maggie Blair is sentenced to be hanged. She escapes, but instead of finding shelter with her principled, patriotic uncle, she brings disaster to his door. 
Betrayed by one of her own accusers, Maggie must try to save her uncle and his family from the king’s men, even if she has to risk her own life in the process." - Summary from Amazon

This historical fiction novel is recommended for high school level.



The Iron Legends by Julie Kagawa
Three novellas set in the world of the Iron Fey. A must-read for fans of this fantasy series.








The Mark of the Dragonfly by Jaleigh Johnson
"For fans of FrozenThe City of Ember, and The School of Good and EvilThe Mark of the Dragonfly is a fast-paced adventure story about a mysterious girl and a fearless boy, set in a magical world that is both exciting and dangerous.
   Piper has never seen the Mark of the Dragonfly until she finds the girl amid the wreckage of a caravan in the Meteor Fields.
   The girl doesn't remember a thing about her life, but the intricate tattoo on her arm is proof that she's from the Dragonfly Territories and that she's protected by the king. Which means a reward for Piper if she can get the girl home.
   The one sure way to the Territories is the 401, a great old beauty of a train. But a ticket costs more coin than Piper could make in a year. And stowing away is a difficult prospect--everyone knows that getting past the peculiar green-eyed boy who stands guard is nearly impossible.
   Life for Piper just turned dangerous. A little bit magical. And very exciting, if she can manage to survive the journey." - from Amazon.

Book talks for 7th grade ELA

Hello!

I may not have a chance to talk to you about some awesome books in our library during class today, so I thought I would list them here:

Running Out of Time by Margaret Petersen Haddix

Jessie has lived in Clifton, Indiana, a frontier town, for her whole life. When people start getting sick in the town, Jessie's mom sends her out of town on a mission to bring back help. What Jessie finds outside her 19th century frontier village totally shocks her!

The Popularity Papers by Amy Ignatow

Lydia and Julie are best friends who are trying to become popular at their middle school...with disastrous and hilarious results.

The Tatooed Potato by Ellen Raskin

One of my favorite mysteries! I recommend it if you enjoyed The Westing Game by the same author.

Happy Reading!

Mrs. R

How to Cover a Textbook

Below are some ideas on how to cover a textbook. We ask that you please don't use the stretchy covers, they actually damage the book binding.  Covering your book is the best way to keep your book protected and you may avoid getting your textbook mixed up with your classmates. I have links to a few different options, some basic others a little more elaborate.  Come on into the Library and show me your original home made designs!

Basic instructions on how to cover a textbook

More elaborate cover ideas

There are many other ideas out there, can't wait to see your creations!

Textbook Pick Up and Summer Book Bingo Update

Textbooks

Textbooks will be available for pick up beginning Monday, August 26th. The schedule for pick up is as follows:

Monday, August 26th: 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Tuesday, August 27th: 10 a.m. until 8 p.m.

Book Bingo

I've had a bit of a epiphany while filling out my Book Bingo Board this summer: it's very difficult to do!

I am changing the rules of the game: As long as you have a traditional bingo on your Book Bingo Board, you can pick from the Prize Box and have your name entered into the drawing for a gift card.

Did you fill the whole board? You get to enter the drawing FIVE times.

You can start bringing your Book Bingo forms back when you come to pick up textbooks.

Misplace your board? Click here to get a new one: http://olmlibrary.blogspot.com/2014/06/summer-book-bingo-board.html

Ransom Riggs Rocks!!

I just finished reading (and loving) the first two books in the series by Ransom Riggs; Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Hollow City.  What was most intriguing about this thrilling fantasy is that the story is weaved around a strange collection of vintage photographs. You are quickly pulled into the story of young Jacob and his adventures to discover what secrets his grandfather was trying to share.  I included the book trailer for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.  I am sure that this will lure you in.  I can not wait for the next book!

Another Librarian Recommendation

I hope you are having an excellent summer break!

The Fire Wish by Amber Lough will be released on July 22. Zayele's family have made an agreement with the royal family of Baghdad. As part of the agreement, Zayele is to marry the Prince. Marriage is the last thing on Zayele's mind, and when she gets a chance to capture a Jinni, she wishes herself out of the deal. The only problem is that Najwa, the Jinni, takes Zayele's place.

The Fire Wish has action, adventure and a little romance. This is a great choice if you enjoy fantasy books. I would recommend it for grades 9 and up. - Mrs. Rouleau

Tuesday, June 24, 2014

Summer Book Bingo!

Good morning!

I haven't forgotten about you: Mrs. Hall and I have been busy with graduation and textbook collection. I did say I would post about books all summer long, as they would count as "A book recommended by a librarian" if you are playing Summer Book Bingo.

The first book I would like to recommend is Drowned by Nichola Reilly. If you enjoy dystopian fiction, or even if you don't, but love a thrilling read, you will enjoy Drowned.


This book was suspenseful: I had to keep reading until the end because I NEEDED to know what was going to happen. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Drowned is available at a bookstore or your local public library.
