It's a good one. It was on my list of books to choose in my children's lit class. It was good I read it in about 2 days!!! Kept my interest!! JACKIE...I loved the adventures of Bruno & Boots as well!
Jackie- do you remember who wrote The Mad Scientist Club? I could only find a newer paperback with a similar name.... Thanks! MT3 Also, please share other ideas for book clubs. My librarian started one (at my request and it's awesome!!)- she holds it at the library once a month for boys and girls ages 4th-8th grade. We are trying to put our heads together for this year. Last year, the kids picked what book they wanted to read and talked about those- my sons read a couple of books they might not have tried because someone their age recommended it! Thanks again!
I did a search, and found this: http://www.madscientistsclub.com/ This is the same book I was talking about!
Oh, look what ELSE I found!!! This is another great one for boys!!! (Another one I had read as a kid!) http://www.purplehousepress.com/alvin.htm
Speaking of libraries and books.. did you know that schools and home schools can have a special deal with libraries to rent longer and have no late dues? I Just found this out and am filling out the form to turn in! Wee!
Thank you Jackie!! Our library has only a two week checkout, but are great about renewing with a phone call for another two weeks. We just have a small-town library though. They can call me if they need to up their circulation numbers- lol! MT3
Well, the libraries here started doing this recently, but I didn't realize it was a bigger thing than just city-wide. They said they've done it for teachers for a long time; implemented it for homeschoolers last month. :shock:
