TombQuest Author Visit = Success!

Well, February 12th was an exciting day in the library world.  Author Michael Northrop came to Alisal and talked to all the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students.  He got everyone really excited about his new book, TombQuest #1: Book of the Dead.  I thought it was interesting to learn that as a kid, Mr. Northrop didn't love reading and actually struggled in school.  It sure goes to show you that you should never give up.  Look what Mr. Northrop was able to accomplish!  I know the kids enjoyed squirming as he talked about how mummies were prepared back in ancient Egyptian times.   It actually inspired me to buy some Egyptian mummy books for the library.  After the assembly, Mr. Northrop signed books for many students who bought his books.  I've been hearing from different kids that they've enjoyed Book of the Dead.  If you haven't read it, what's stopping you?  The library has two copies - put one on hold today!
