New Arrival! The Gift and The Fire

Have you read James Patterson's Witch and Wizard? If you have, you'll likely be chomping at the bit to read the next two books in the series, The Gift and The Fire! Here's the Destiny summary for The Gift:

"After escaping imprisonment by the totalitarian regime known as the New Order, siblings Wisty and Whit Allgood, who possess magical powers, establish themselves as leaders of the Resistance, a hidden community of teenagers like themselves, hunted by the state and determined to defy its ban on the arts, magic, and all other forms of creativity."


And here's what Destiny says about The Fire:

"Whisty Allgood and her brother Whit must come up with a better plan after her efforts to use her fight and fire to defeat The One Who is the One--the evil leader who killed their family and banned everything they hold dear in the world--only adds to his power."


Stop by and get caught up with the Witch and Wizard series today!

New Arrival! The Strange Case of Origami Yoda

Not long ago, I shared with Smith 6th-graders Tom Angleberger's Darth Paper Strikes Back. Turns out Tom wrote a book before this titled  The Strange Case of Origami Yoda  and we've got it here in the library! Destiny says:

"Sixth-grader Tommy and his friends describe their interactions with a paper finger puppet of Yoda, worn by their weird classmate Dwight, as they try to figure out whether or not the puppet can really predict the future. Includes instructions for making Origami Yoda."

Stop by the library, check out The Strange Case of Origami Yoda and make your very own Origami Yoda!
