THE HOBBIT by J.R.R. Tolkien
The movie and the book were both really good, but in the movie there were multiple love scenes where in the book there were none.
GARFIELD by Jim Davis
I read Garfield and I watched the movie and I liked the book better because it was more funny and not so realistic.
One of the options for our Summer Learning Challenges this year is to write a review of a book you’re reading. Here is the first one we’ve received from one of our awesome participants this summer:
I like the fighting and action in this book. I don’t like it when they always make a joke before they fight — I sometimes like it but not always. I don’t always like having the question corner before every chapter either. I sometimes like reading the question corner because sometimes it answers some questions I had. Other than that, the book One Piece, Volume One is a great book!
Beginning July 6th, teens in grades 6-12, drop in between 2:00-4:00 for Summer Teen Lounge. Crafts, video and board games and laptop computers, plus summer learning program activities!
