Some of our favourite authors here at Pacific Heights Library are going to have new books available at the book fair! I have picked my top 5 that I am looking forward to reading! All of the books below would make a great addition to your library at home!
Raina Telgemeier is a familiar name to our students. She first won them over with an autobiographical story of headgear and friendship called Smile. Smile, along with Drama and Sisters have quickly become a few of the most checked-out books in our library. Raina's newest graphic novel Ghosts has been much anticipated by our grade 4-7 students. Find a sneak peak of Ghosts here and find the whole book at our Scholastic Book Fair.
Tra la laaaaa! Dav Pilkey of Captain Underpants and Mighty Robot fame has a new chapter book available and students grade 2 and up are going to want to check it out! Dog Man is part dog, part man, and all crime-fighting hero. It is a book that is sure to be filled with fast-paced silly fun. Find out more about Dog Man and other Dav Pilkey books on his website.
This is the fourth book in the Jedi Academy, but the first one written by Jarret J. Krosoczka. Students know Jarret from his hilarious Lunch Lady graphic novels and now he is bringing new characters and new fun to Jedi Academy in Star Wars Jedi Academy: A New Class. Perfect for grade 4 and up! Check out the book trailer here.
This book won't actually be at the fair because it doesn't come out until November 1st. Diary of a Wimpy fans will want to pre-order their copy of the 11th book so they have it as soon as it is available! Greg Heffley has a whole new challenge in this latest installment: prove he is good at something other than playing video games! If you haven't checked out the series yet, we have multiple copies of each in the library!!
Robert Munsch has written over sixty books and this newest one is all about snow! Michael Martchenko's illustrations are always a favourite of students, as well! In this newest story a young girl named Jasmine is determined to get to school, even though a blizzard is rolling in. It could possibly be pizza day and she wouldn't want to miss pizza day. So Much Snow is a silly wintertime story perfect for K and up. Find it at the Scholastic Book Fair!
