Our new group of Dolphin Readers began meeting a few weeks ago. This week, students worked on advertisements for this year's NCSLMA YA Book Award vote, which will occur during the month of March. Students were challenged to write a 2-sentence review of one of their favorite books from the list. Below are their efforts . . .
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

"This is an adventurous tale about 4 kids with large brains that go on an adventure to stop a computerized chair. Can they stop the chair and it's creator?" - Amanda
"This is an exciting novel of kid power and how much children can do. Four gifted children go on a quest of friendship, danger, and bravery as they struggle to prevent an evil genius from unleashing his wrath upon the world." - Kelly
