Read It, Don't Eat It! by Ian Schoenherr


Read it, Don’t Eat It by Ian Schoenherr is a must read book for any new library user (or those who can't remember the library rules). The words are basic and simply teach basic rules of the library. One of them is simply don’t eat the books! (You would be surprised how often this really does happen to poor library books!) Other rules include borrowing and returning books, don’t tear the pages, don’t be loud in the library and be careful with the books around the water. The most important rule though is once your done make sure you get another. Check it out to make sure you are following the rules of the library and see how the cute animal illustrations are doing the same.

Review: The Factory

The Factory By Catherine Egan New York, NY : Scholastic Inc., 2025. Fiction. 306 pages.  Thirteen-year-old Asher Doyle has been invited to join the Factory, a secretive research facility in the desert which ostensibly extracts renewable energy from the electromagnetic fields of its young recruits. But Asher soon realizes something sinister is going on. Kids are getting sick. The adults who run the Factory seem to be keeping secrets. And the extraction process is not only painful and exhausting, but existentially troubling. Asher makes a handful of new friends who help him with an investigation that turns into a resistance, which turns into...a cliffhanger!
