Metcalf Library

After reading many nonfiction books written for teenagers and adults, I needed a change of pace. The Notebook of Doom to the rescue! Highly recommend the first book in the series, Rise of the Balloon Goons by Troy at Cummings.
Monsters? ✔️
Laugh-out-loud scenes? ✔️
Great for beginning chapter book readers?✔️
As an added bonus, I now laugh whenever I pass those ridiculous inflatable advertisements.

Just finished Charlie Hernández and the Castle of Bones (the 2nd book in the Charlie Hernández series). This series is full of action and characters from Hispanic legends, folklore, and myths. Great books for 4th grade and up.

The Harris County Public Library has lots of Dan Gutman books, including 134 you can read on a phone, tablet, kindle, or computer at HCPL.net

I made this 54-second video urging kids to read over the summer. I hope you’ll show it to your kids. Feel free to share it with other parents, teachers, and librarians too.
