Bluestem Nominee: The 13-Story Treehouse

Students loved this fun and funny book and Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton's other tree house books are just as popular.

Bluestem Nominee: Sidekicks

Graphic novels just fly off of our shelves and Dan Santat's Sidekicks is no exception.  What a fun book!

Bluestem Nominee: Stay

Stay by Michaela Muntean is a charming non-fiction book that tells the story of circus performer Luciano Anastasini who finds dogs at shelters and trains them to perform in the circus.

Bluestem Nominee: Fortunately the Milk

Neil Gaiman's Fortunately the Milk was not my favorite of his books the first time I read it.  After reading it aloud to several fourth and fifth grade classes I am a convert.  What a ridiculous, hilarious, good time!

Battle of the Books City Finals

Congratulations to BOTH of our Battle of the Books teams!  The 4th-6th grade team and 7th-8th grade team both qualified for the City Finals.  Only 15 teams in each age group qualified for the upcoming City Finals battle and we are so proud.  Good luck!

Bluestem Nominee: Dorko the Magnificent

Managing to be both funny and heart-warming Dorko the Magnificent was truly enjoyed by the students that read it.

Bluestem Nominee: Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library

A book dear to a librarian's heart!  What an amazing library!  I don't think quite as many kids read this title, but the ones that did loved it dearly.
