Its that time of year…summer reading programs at libraries are offering lots and lots of thank you gifts for reading books.
But how hard is it to find a book you’ll love? No worries. We went out the the City of Stem/LA Maker Faire to ask the experts for their book suggestions.
Cleopatra in Space - Mike Maihack
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Az and the prisoner of azkaban- J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone - J.K. Rowling
The Skull - John Klassen
Dragon Girls - Maddy Mara
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Jeff Kinney
The Ogress and the Orphans - Kelly Barnhill
Percy Jackson - Rick Riordan
We’ll have a list of everybody’s favorite book at our website bookclubforkids.org. And if you have a favorite book, you can be on the show, too. Just give us a call at 424-209-2285 and tell us your first name, the city where you live, the name of your favorite book, and why you love it. That number again is 424-209-2285.
And if you’re looking for a good mystery set inside the uS Capitol, check out StATE OF THE UNION by Kitty Felde. It just got a five star review from Forward Clarion, which called Fina an “intelligent and precocious heroine who uses her critical thinking skills and keen observational senses to suss out information on the Chickcharney and the other mysteries in her daily life.”
And now you can get the Spanish version of State of the Union called Estado de la Union, translated by Jorge Flores Gonzales. And available now from Chesapeake Press, wherever great books are sold.
