ANCIENT ROME

If you like mysteries and history you will love The Thieves of Ostia by Caroline Lawrence.  Flavia Gemina, the daughter of a sea-captain lives in the port city of Ostia in the year 79 A.D.  She makes three new friends who help her solve the mystery of who is killing the dogs on her street.  A great book that introduces you to life in ancient Rome and to both Greek and Latin languages.  A great way to learn history.  This is the first book in the series of Roman Mysteries.  I recommend it for fourth graders and up both boys and girls will enjoy the adventures of these four kids.

Summer Reading Club

Summer officially starts today and so does summer reading.  I filled the cart in the kids section with books that are on your suggested reading lists.  When you have your required reading out of the way there are some great books to get lost in.  I noticed that most of the Lemony Snickett books are on the shelf waiting for new readers to explore.  Geronimo Stilton is also waiting. 

Check here for more interesting titles to try. And leave a comment on what you are reading and what you think of it.

Happy Reading,
