Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (#1)



I just re-read this book by J.K. Rowling.  (FIC ROW). It is one of my all-time favorite reads.  You do not have to like magic or fantasy books to like this.  It is an amazingly creative world that provides the setting for a perfectly written story.  She is brilliant.

My One Hundred Adventures

This big-kid fiction book by Polly Horvath on the nooks was a bit slow for me.  It also left many unanswered questions and did not seem to have a clear theme or message.  This was not a favorite of mine.

Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library

This book on the Nooks is a wonderful story written by Chris Grabenstein.  Reminiscent of Willie Wonka, 12 children embark on a treasure hunt in a library to win a prize.  Filled with references to classic works of fiction and with references to the Dewey Decimal system, any lover of books and libraries will love this fun and exciting read!
