Read Across America
You are never too young for read alouds and picture books! Dr. Seuss is one of my favorites! If you have a younger sibling, take him or her to Target today for the read aloud of The Lorax, which is being made into a movie. I just love the way Dr. Seuss' words come to life and dance when read out loud! Reading and the love of it should be shared; read to your siblings whenever you can. I remember when I was very little, all I would talk about was "someday when I can read" and how I would read to my sister. Years later, even when my sister could read for herself, we would sit in her room on long summer days and I would read her Mary Kate and Ashley books. Does anyone have a special read aloud memory? It can be either a time when you connected with someone by reading to them or by being read to by them. Share it here! Happy Reading!

SciFi: The Maze Runner by James Dashner
If you like futuristic novels like The Hunger Games and you also like scary stories and movies, then this is the book for you! There is suspense at every corner... kind of like when you turn the corner of a real maze! This well written book opens up with a vivid description of Thomas, the main character, coming-to in a dark elevator. He has absolutely no recollection of who he is, where he came from, or how he got to be in the dark, metal box. Suddenly he ascends and the doors of the elevator scrape open. He finds himself in the middle of a glade at the center of a number of staring boys, all boxed in by a large maze. If you think that is scary, then wait until you find out what is INSIDE the maze...
From the first page, this book will have you asking questions and reading on hungrily to find out what happens to the characters next, how they got into the Glade, how they will get out, and what they will find when they do! Best part? There are two more books in the series, so the experience will last longer!
Above Review by Mrs. Sental
Already read the entire series? Try Incarceron by Katherine Fisher!
