More New Books

I have some great new books for you that were added to the IMC collection this week.
First, if you liked the Richard Peck books A Long Way from Chicago and A Year Down Yonder, you would probably agree that Grandma Dowdel really makes those stories funny. Now Peck has a new Grandma Dowdel story called A Season of Gifts. In this story Grandma Dowdel has new neighbors, a preacher's family, who are having a hard time adjusting to their new home, especially with Grandma Dowdel's spooky house next door.
A new addition by Andrew Clements is called No Talking. The boys and girls in Mrs. Overby's class just don't get along. AND the boys are always LOUD! Friction between the boys and girls leads to a bet to see who can be silent the longest. What will school be like with No Talking.
Competition is fierce in Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's new book Science Fair. Add in a $5,000 prize, a plot to destroy the United States, a pair of bumbling spies, and a very nervous frog and you have a hilarious book with danger and suspense.
Two books that I blogged this summer are now ready for checkout - Shannon Hale's Book of a Thousand Days about two girls walled up in a tower who have to rescue themselves and Ridley Pearson's The Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark where holographic images of five teens have to defend Disney World and the whole world against Disney villains and witches come to life.
All these new books are available in the New Book Section by the windows.
