32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny


I picked this book out from Amazon to give to Elle's teacher.
Elle and I spent a great deal of time clicking on the "Surprise Me" button on Amazon reading excerpts.
I finally checked it out of the library, and we've been laughing hysterically at all the fun stories!

New Brandon Mull!

Beyonders comes out March 15, (happy birthday to me) and is the first book in a new series by Brandon Mull, who wrote the FANTASTIC Fablehaven books. I snagged the description from Amazon:

The first book in a new series (Beyonders), A World Without Heroes is an addictive blend of fantasy, humor, and heroic quest. Jason is an ordinary 13-year-old involuntarily transported to Lyrian, a world ruled by the evil wizard Maldor. Jason stumbles across a book bound with human skin and learns of a secret word with the power to unmake Maldor--knowledge that puts Jason in grave danger. Galloran, a blind king who once searched for the word himself, introduces Jason to Rachel, another Beyonder (as people from Earth are called) who had appeared in Lyrian at the same time. Jason and Rachel set out to retrieve the word, and the resulting pages are filled with adventure, drama, loyalty and betrayal—a treat for fans of Mull’s Fablehaven series or those discovering this bestselling author for the first time.--Seira Wilson
