I mentioned in a previous post that through my blog I would be sharing with you 'inspiring reads.' These are books that 'inspire' my students that typically do not enjoy reading, to want to read. This means I am always on the lookout for good books, and my students know that. so now they are bringing me their favorite books. It warms my heart when one of my students just can't wait to share a book with me. This month's 'inspiring read' was brought to my attention by several students before I added it to my classroom library, Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein.
Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein is a fun and clever mystery. I enjoyed it because of its literary references throughout the book and how it reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. My students said they liked it because they were "never bored" and "couldn't wait to see how they got out of the library." Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein was very popular with my students and apparently students everywhere because Chris Grabenstein wrote a sequel Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics. Both books are favorites amongst my students.
