“Gotta Keep Reading”
A friend sent this link to me, and I must share it with you.

Take a look at what Ocoee Middle School did (how did they ever organize this?) How many titles did your recognize while watching? I caught a few.
I am reading another library book:
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead, the Newbery Medal winner this year. It is 1979 and Miranda (12) is dealing with issues and changes. She is puzzled by her long-time friend, Sal, he suddenly doesn’t want to walk with her to school or eat lunch with her. She is afraid of and carefully avoids the laughing man, a homeless man who appears to be mentally unstable. Occasionally she finds a cryptic note in a strange place, her coat pocket, for instance. Who is leaving them and how is he or she doing it? I’m looking forward to finding out!
That sounds like a great book, Sally. I think I’ll look for that one at the library.
Thank you for your blog. I am enjoying it.
