Hello, dear Summer Readers. You’re different than rest-of-the-year readers because it’s summer time and that means, Summer Reading Clubs,
Book of the Month Club (my sister gave me a subscription for my birthday! Thanks, schwes!),
Reading is Fundamental, beach trips, camping trips, out in the hammock reading time… all of it.
So here are a few new titles for you. I’ve never played or really understood Dungeons & Dragons, but there is a new movie out, and that means books and toys to go with it, yay!
“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” is a junior novelization that is available in hardback or paperback, with color inserts. The hardback includes the color inserts, plus a cool little poster. All kinds of cool stuff to go along with the movie and the books —
action figures,
a Monopoly game… have fun.
My new favorite book (I’m about halfway through reading it) is Jenna Yoon’s
“Lia Park and the Heavenly Heirlooms.” (This is the second book in the adventure/magic/fantasy series.) Our 12-year-old heroine is now attending the International Magic Academy full-time with her best friend Joon, and her magic abilities aren’t exactly going the way she’d like. This is a great, well-written and interesting book. The grown-ups and the kids will all enjoy this one.
Enjoy your summer. Put some Otter Pops in the freezer and fill up the kiddie pool.
All for now, bon appetit,
WM
