Hello to all the students and families at Oppenheimer! I miss seeing all your faces and hearing about what books you’ve been reading.

I have been meaning to start up a library blog, and now this seems like a perfect time! I will be posting activities you can do with your family, book news and reviews and more!

Please leave a comment to let me know what you’ve been reading lately!

I recently finished an excellent graphic novel called Sheets by Brenna Thummler that I hope to add to our library collection (I borrowed it from Vancouver Public Library before they closed). The story is about 13 year old Marjorie who is in charge of her family’s laundry business, and her interactions with a friendly young ghost named Wendell who turns out not as helpful as he intends for Marjorie.

I’ve just started reading Inside Out and Back again by Thanna Lai, which is about a young Vietnamese girl moving to the United States to escape the Vietnam War. The book is written in free verse poetry and I thought this would be a good time to read this book since April is Poetry Month. Check back to see me share my thoughts on the book!
