A NOTE FROM BOOKER
Hello!
Happy New Year to you!
Did you know that we have a page on KidsReads.com that lists some of our favorite series books? You can get to it by clicking here. When you get to that page, you can click on the titles of the series to read more information on them. When you do that, you can read a summary of what the books in the series are about. On the left side of the pages, you will see more links you can click on. Some of the links go to games, author information, title information, and more reviews of the books. By checking out the different links, you can get a pretty good idea about whether or not you would want to read any of the books.
Do you have a favorite series of books you like to read? I'd love to hear about it. Just drop me an e-mail at BookerTWorm@aol.com. If we do not have any of the books reviewed here, we might be able to add them.
Now for this week's news...

But even a mother can't stop Mother Nature and Iris is growing up --- in fact it's time for her to get a bra. The problem is, her mother says she can't afford to buy Iris a bra right now. Iris can't turn back puberty! What is she going to do? You'll have to read JUST ASK IRIS to find out!
