Hey yall! I'm looking forward to being back at the library this evening to talk about books and hang out. Earlier this summer I found this website that had an incredible list of books to read. I'm posting it on here because I have read a lot of the books and think it is a great resource for picking out books to read.
Check it out!

"I Survived Hurricane Katrina, 2005"
Colee and I found this book in the library on Tuesday when we were looking for a book about the Titanic. The author Lauren Tarshis has written several books in this series about other major events (including the Titanic) but the only book our library had was about Hurricane Katrina.
I vividly remember Hurricane Katrina, it wasn't too long ago and it was one of the worst natural disasters to happen to the United States. Because I had read all the news articles about the hurricane when it first happened, and I had family members in the Gulf Shore area I was really interested to read the story.
This book is written from the view point of a kid who lives in a poor area of New Orleans. His family tries to leave the city before the Hurricane comes, but because his sister gets sick they have to go back home. The try to make it through the storm but the flood waters force them to the roof. Trying to keep his sister safe Barry falls off the roof and is swept away in the flood.
The book is suspenseful, sad and keeps in hooked until the very last page. The book is well written, gives you a great (and startling) inside perspective of what it was like to live out Hurricane Katrina.
I just started the Titanic book (Colee you can borrow it!) and I can't wait to see what happens to the characters in that story.

"Something Upstairs"
When I found this book at the library I shrieked. I vividly remember reading and re-reading this book as an elementary school student. I can even remember where in the library the book was located. If you were a fan of Ghost Cadet, this is a book you will love!
Something Upstairs by Avi
Something Upstairs by Avi
In this story a boy named Kenny moves into a really old house in Providence Rhode Island. His new room in the attic has a smaller room attached with a mysterious stain in the middle of the floor. When Kenny is sleeping he wakes up because of a strange noise, only to find a ghost coming out of the stain in the floor! What follows is a creepy, suspenseful tale about a boy going back in time to help a ghost find out who murdered him so he can be set free to no longer haunt the attic.
I read this book in one day because I couldn't put it down. If you get a chance to read this book let me know what you think.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
