City of Ember Winner Announced!

We had our random drawing for the City of Ember movie ticket contest that we were running August through September. The winner was Kim Magyar. Kim says that she would recommend The City of Ember to others as a great read. "It keeps you reading. This book has alot of details and has an effect on you that makes you feel as if you're in the book-on the same journey as the main characters." If you like books that keep you on the edge of your seat, Kim also recommends Wait Til Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn.

The movie The City of Ember is released on October 10! If you read the book-don't miss the movie. Don't forget to let us know what you thought!

The Invention of Hugo Cabaret by Brian Selznick

This is seriously one of the best books I have ever read. If you have not read this book yet, you MUST, MUST pick it up right away. If you like books that let your imagination do most of the work this is a book for you. If you like books that have a twist and an ending that is not perfect-this is the book for you. If you like illustrations, drawings, and artwork that makes you think-this is the book for you. This book has all the wonderful magic of mysterious artwork-with a plot to match. Don't miss out on this one!
