Cleveland Library ROCKS!!!

Cleveland library really likes Peg Kehret books. Each one is full of excitement and adventure. This month we would like to highlight Escaping the Giant Wave. Actually we are going to be using this one for some of our school classes that come here each week. Here is just a short review to get you excited to read it.

Thirteen-year-old Kyle thought spending a vacation on the Oregon coast with his family would be great. He'd never flown before, and he'd never seen the Pacific Ocean.

Kyle's perfect vacation becaomes a nightmare while he's baby-sitting his sister, BeeBee. An earthquake hits the coast and starts a fire in their hotel. While fighting their way through smoke and flame, Kyle remembers seeing a sign at the beach that said after an earthquake everyone should go uphill and inland, as far from the ocean as possible. Tsunamis, giant waves that often follow earthquakes, can ride in from the sea and engulf anyone who doesn't escape fast enough.

Can Kyle and BeeBee outwit and outrun nature's fury to save themselves from tsunami terror?

Castle Dale library presents the next two blogs

When a book of unexplainable occurences brings Petra and Calder together, strange things start to happen: seemingly unrelated events connect; an eccentric old women seeks their company; an invaluable Vermeer painting disappears. Before they know it, the two find themselves at the center of an international art scandel, where no one is spared from suspicion. As Petra and Calder are drawn clue by clue into a mysterious labyrinth, they must draw on their powers of intuition, their problem solving skills, and their knowlidge of Vermeer.

History and fiction merge seamlessly in Tracy Chevalier's luminous novel about artistic vision and sensual awakening. Through the eyes of sixteen-year-old Griet, the world of 1660s Holland comes dazzlingly alive in this richly imagined portrait of the youg woman who inspired one of Vermeer's most celebrated paintings.
