Today
is officially Santa’s List Day—and so I thought since the big guy in the North
Pole is making his Christmas list, I should start thinking about mine.
(P.S.—I’ve been super good this year, Santa!)
Obviously
I’m asking for ALL THE RUNNING STUFF—new shoelaces, a stopwatch, thin socks…
But at the top of my list this year (and every year, actually) is BOOKS.
So, in
no particular order, here are my most anticipated of the New Year.
My Seventh-Grade Life in Tights by Brooks
Benjamin
Dillon
wants to be a dancer. His dad wants him to play football. Obviously, craziness ensues. This book sounds
all kinds of funny and I MUST have it.
The Rat Prince by Bridget Hodder
The dashing Prince of the Rats-—who's
in love with Cinderella—is turned into her coachman by the Fairy Godmother on
the night of the big ball. And he's about to turn the legend (and the evening)
upside down on his way to a most unexpected happy ending! Obviously, I’m in!
Ravenous by MarcyKate Connolly
A witch has come to the city of
Bryre. She travels in a hut that has chicken feet, and is ravenous for
children. And once she gets what she desires, she never lets it go. Yep, I’m
bewitched already.
The Wild Robot by Peter Brown
When robot Roz opens her eyes for the
first time, she discovers that she is alone on a remote, wild island. Why is
she there? Where did she come from? And, most important, how will she survive
in her harsh surroundings? Roz's only hope is to learn from the island's
hostile animal inhabitants. Colour me intrigued!
Bad Luck
by Pseudonymous Bosch
At Earth Ranch, things can get a
little magical (some might say strange). Intrepid readers will
discover a runaway boy, fishy cruise ship, strange cave paintings, dragon-like
footprints, and other mysteries that Clay and his friends need to solve. Sounds
like an adventure!
Speaking
of adventure, the new Superman Duffy comic, SHIVER ME TIMBERS, is at the press
right now. Aye, it’s a good book, to be sure. Tell me the book on your
Christmas list and I’ll send you a copy of SHIVER ME TIMBERS. It’s THAT easy.
Okay,
Gotta Jet! See you next week!
