Thank you, Rachel

A few months ago, Rachel in Mrs. Williamson's class won a book for a promotion in the library (Sorry, Rachel...I can't remember why!) and she chose "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." A few days passed and she came back through the Library to tell me that she had read and LOVED the book. I felt very happy for her, but kept putting it off because it looked....I don't know....weird. I think that lots of kids feel the same way and put off reading it. Well, don't!!! It is fantastic! Of course, it has won several awards this year, including the Caldecott. I've been recommending it to everyone since, and I keep hearing wonderful things about it from the kids at Pleasant Hill Intermediate School....the other day it was Megan from Mrs. Leslie's class that said "Hugo Cabret was great!" as she passed through. So RUN, don't walk, to get a hold of this one!
