My family is gearing up for it’s annual holiday, and
we’ve decided to make this trip (wherever we end up going) all about READING.
That’s because my sister and I are WAY behind on our
summer book lists. No one forces us
to read (we love it), but we like to challenge each other. Usually, I win—but
the past few weeks I’ve been so busy, I’ve hardly read at all.
So, in no particular order, here are the five books
I plan to read before school starts in September.
The
Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger
This book is about an origami finger puppet (in the
shape of Yoda from Star Wars) that sits on the finger of a quiet kid named
Dwight—a finger puppet that has the uncanny ability to predict stuff. Like who will win American Idol or when Dwight’s
teacher will spring the next pop quiz. This sounds awesome!
Big
Nate: In a Class by Himself by Lincoln Pierce
If you haven’t read any of the books from this
hilarious series, you’re seriously missing out! In this book, Nate gets a
message in the form of a fortune cookie that reads: Tomorrow, you will surpass all others. It sounds like “luck” is
finally going to go Nate’s way—or is it? I can’t wait to find out!
Tales
of the Sixth Grade Muppet by Kirk Scroggs
A 6th grader obsessed with Gonzo the
Great wakes up one morning to find he’s become a Muppet, just like his idol.
Need I say more? Okay, maybe one more thing...this sounds AMAZING!
Death
Cloud by Andrew Lane
If you love a good mystery, this book is definitely for you. Based on the
character of Sherlock Holmes, a young sleuth takes on his first case. Who doesn't need a little mystery in their summer?
The
Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
Not new, but new to me, this is the story of a boy
named Milo that travels in an electric car to places like Dictionopolis (a land
of words), and Digitopolis (a land of numbers). Sounds neat, right? (Well,
except the numbers part!)
How many from this list have YOU read? What did you
think?
Gotta jet—I’ve got some reading to do!
