A NOTE FROM BOOKER
Hello!
Do you have any special plans for this weekend? I do! I am going to see Spy Kids 2 at the movies with my best friend, Book Mark. Book Mark has twins and we promised to take them to see Spy Kids 2. They are really excited because they not only loved the first Spy Kids movie, but also loved the books based on the first Spy Kids movie.
We enjoy watching movies and reading books, so we're very excited that we can all see the movie and read the fun books based on the movie Spy Kids 2. I love to see movies that are made from the books we read. Sometimes the movies are a little different from the books, and sometimes they are just like the books. For Spy Kids, the movie came first and then books were written about the movie. If you want to read more stories about Spy Kids, we've put together some reviews of Spy Kids books. If you are a Spy Kid fan, you will really want to check out our reviews of Spy Kids books. If you see the movie, let me know how you liked it!
Now on to this week's news...
