The IMC has just added 2 books from the Time Warp Trio series by Jon Scieszka. You may remember the author from his off-beat style in books like The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs and The Stinky Cheese Man. The Time Warp Trio books are aimed at older readers and take a light hearted look at various time periods in history.
In It's All Greek to Me, the trio is about to go on stage in a school play on Greek myths when they are warped through time to -- ancient Greece, Mount Olympus to be precise. And they are in the middle of a feud between the gods and the goddesses and the monsters.
In See You Later, Gladiator, the trio is just wrestling when they are transported to ancient Rome and land in a gladiatorial school preparing warriors to fight in the Colosseum. Will the guys survive to return to present day?
These books, which tie in with the 6th grade social studies curriculum, can be found on the New Books Shelves along the wall of the non-fiction section. Come and enjoy.
