Summer
Book Blast
Kids who join the library reading series have a chance to get their book review
published in the Caller-Times
School's out for summer - but that doesn't mean kids have to put away the books. They can join a book club at the local library and become a published writer, all before the new school year starts in the fall.
It's part of the public library's summer reading book club, "Mission Possible: Spy a Book," for children ages 5 to 15.
Book club members are asked to read 10 books between now and July 19.

Include the author’s main idea for writing the book.
Give some information about the book’s main characters and setting.
Tell what you learned from the book.
