Because many students were enthusiastic about this book, I created a display with other novels featuring similar story elements. Some of the books on display were even recommendations from Ms. Bullard herself. Thank you Ms. Bullard and thank you to Mrs. Horn for planning the visit!
Okay, we didn't have real chickens in the school, but we did have the lovely Lisa Bullard visit us in the Middle School Library on Monday. She is the author of the recently published Turn Left at the Cow, which features a rousing scene of real chicken poop bingo. This comic mystery is set in Minnesota and is filled with endearing, witty, and memorable characters. The students had plenty of questions for Ms. Bullard and she answered them with entertaining anecdotes and chances to play a simulated version of the "fowl" game.

Earlier this week I had fun talking to the 6th and 7th graders about some of the mystery books in our library. We looked at mysteries that could also be described as historical fiction, realistic fiction, or fantasy. With Halloween around the corner, some of the students were inspired to check out mysteries involving ghosts and other scary creatures! |
