Hi friends,
Just wanted to let you know that my reading schedule will be a bit different for the next 2 weeks. I volunteer at my daughter's middle-school library and have been asked to help with this year's Battle of the Books. Battle of the Books is like a quiz bowl about a selected group of books with teams competing to answer the most questions correctly. I am trying to read the books from the seventh grade list.
The books are:
| Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie | Jordan Sonnenblick |
| Hoot | Carl Hiaasen |
| House of the Scorpion | Nancy Farmer |
| Life as We Knew It | Susan Pfeffer |
| The Lost Years of Merlin | T.A. Barron |
| Mortal Engines | Phillip Reeve |
| Never Trust a Dead Man | Vivian Vande Velde |
| Road to Memphis | Mildred Taylor |
| Shabanu, Daughter of the Wind | Suzanne Fisher Staples |
| Shackelton’s Stowaway | Victoria McKernan |
| Slam | Walter Dean Myers |
| Tasting the Sky | Ibtisam Barakat |
| The Traitor | Laurence Yep |
| What the Moon Saw | Laura Resau |
I better get busy reading!
Thanks for all your prayers about my husband's job situation. We appreciate it!
That is a really cool and fun idea!

Enjoy and I miss volunteering at my two
sons' schools...They are too old, now!
Take care, Cindi

I have a teacher friend who is helping to coach the team at her school. :)
