A week ago I saw a twitter post by Dr. Lisa Snyder, superintendent of Lakeville Schools.
To be honest, I have so many books on my reading "to do" list right now. If you could have seen my thoughts when I saw the twitter post, you would have seen a thought bubble with the words "UGH - Not Another Book!" above my head. Shocking, I know. It must be a long reading list when the librarian is tempted to turn her back on a new book suggestion!! With all the 2014 Newbery & Coretta Scott King award winning books being announced last Monday, my reading card was and is full. But Dr. Snyder, was smart and added a link to a book trailer. I am a sucker for a good book trailer...and I found this one to be a really compelling book trailer!
And after I saw the two minute book trailer, I was hooked and went looking for more and found the author, Amanda Ripley, doing a book talk...
I know it is really long, 46 minutes, but it is so interesting that I really felt like I needed to share!!! I ran out and bought the book, and it moved to the top of my reading pile!!
