Knights of the Lunch Table: The Dragon Players

Knights of the Lunch Table: The Dragon Players
     written by Frank Cammuso

Artie King is a 6th grader at middle school just trying to get through the days, one by one. He still likes fantasy play although he now makes it his personal activity, and he flips out when his sister tries to get rid of his super hero toy collection. It's a childhood/growing up thing.

Mrs. Dagger, the evil principal, has a broken windshield from a bowling ball hitting it in the parking lot (long story) and has pinned the blame on one of Artie's friends, Wayne, who must now find a way to get the money and fix the windshield.

The boys decide to enter a schoolwide contest that has a $300. first place prize. They think that they could win.

But so does the Horde, a gang of school bullies who have bullied another friend Percy, into entering the contest for them.

Artie and his crew draft Evo, a mysterious kid who happens to have won the contest last year, and Artie has to now face a choice to "cheat or not cheat" when he is given a chance to shut down all the competition.

REVIEW

So Warrior fans know where our stack of books are in the fiction section, but did you know that you can also find them now in the graphic novel section of the library?

Now the nationally best selling series is being created in Manga!

Erin Hunter herself comments in the foreward of this title how the Manga version can show a wide range of emotions and actions of one of her favorite characters in the series, Greystripe. She evaluates the drawings as strong and powerful and loves the crisp dialogue to move the action along!


 Be sure to look for "The Lost Warrior"  and other Manga as we purchase them for our collection.

Right now our first copy is available through the Extremely Popular Binder so sign up today!

Bad Kitty Vs. Uncle Murray

Bad Kitty Vs Uncle Murray; The Uproar at the Front Door
     written by Nick Bruel

This book is the third in the series after "Bad Kitty Gets a Bath", and "Happy Birthday, Bad Kitty." Each time a Bad Kitty book is published it is on the Hot Table when it arrives at our Book Fair, and fall was no exception!

This time, Bad Kitty's owners go out of town and Uncle Murray moves in for a week to watch Bad Kitty and Puppy. But can Uncle Murray survive the visit? I wouldn't bet on it with Bad Kitty around!
