Had a great time Sunday visiting the Stamford Museum and Nature Center for their Halloween Spooktacular and Death by Chocolate Baking Contest (accompanied a friend who works there). Saw the largest pigs ever and some very strange-looking llamas, and watched an otter in his habitat. And some of the brownies were delicious...
Some new books you might like that I'm ordering today:
Sonnenblick, Notes from the Midnight Driver: Alex gets drunk, steals and totals his mom's car, then has to serve 100 hours visiting the crabbiest resident of an old-age home. Come meet a memorable cast of characters...
Mainardi, The Life of Pope John Paul...in Comics! Something to check out!
Vande Velde, All Hallows' Eve: 13 Stories: Halloween fans too old for trick-or-treating will love this one -- creepy and gruesome!
Steele, The Taker: Carly accepts a text message offering nearly perfect SAT scores so she can get into Princeton -- what are the strings attached? And what are the pressures of standardized tests and college admissions?
Flinn, Diva: A follow-up to Underwater, Caitlin's story deals with her obsessions about weight, her new school, and her relationship with her mother. A meaty but fast read...
Hope you find something you enjoy!
