Summer Reading Wrap-up

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Summer Reading Program! All prizes have now been given out. If you have a book voucher to claim, make sure to do that online before August 10.

What books did kids enjoy this summer? Check out some of their reviews:

Amelia Bedelia, Rocket Scientist?
The book was about a science fair. This character Amelia Bedelia doesn't act like an adult, she acts like a kid. Believe me she is not a good listener. Trust me you don't want to be like her. - Kathryn

Cartboy and the Time Capsule
This is a very funny book. Hal's history teacher told his students at the beginning of the 6th grade school year to write a journal and put in a time capsule not to open until the year 2500. Hal writes about the past, present, and his imagination about the future. - Anirudh

Civil War on Sunday
Jack and Annie land in the forest during the Civil War. I liked this book because it's adventurous. I liked learning about the Civil War. - Nick

The Mystery of the Aztec Warrior
I like this book because it is full of mystery. The author did a fabulous job of sending you into the world of Frank and Joe Hardy. This book intrigued my mind and I was very curious to know how the case was solved. I started reading it and did not want to stop because I wanted to see how the mystery was solved. - Arnav

The Smell of Old Lady Perfume
This book takes place on the border of Mexico and America. It is about a girl whose life changes in sixth grade. She was super excited about sixth grade but when it comes there is a turn of events. Will Chela survive this year or will it be miserable? Find out by reading the book. - Isabella

The Year of the Dog
I like this book, because this story is about the author's childhood and her mother's story. Like a diary. I can learn friendship, Chinese cultures, and love. - Jennifer
