Not a book review this time, but I have to say thanks...
I went in for my last session of the year with the Philip's Academy students yesterday, and was completely surprised to see a pizza party and a certificate presentation for me! That was awesome, you guys, and I really appreciate the time you took to put it together. This has been a great year and you guys have done such a fantastic job - you read a huge variety of books and analyzed them so carefully - I hope the summer reading choices I brought keep you reading throughout the summer (many thanks again to author Karen Blumenthal for donating so many!). To the group of 8 below that volunteered to present the certificate & pose for the pictures...a special thanks. You guys rock and I was honestly really surprised. I'm sending more of the Jeter books especially for you...
