Mr. Church Reviews The Hunger Games


The much-anticipated The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins was catalogued and put on display this past week. Mr. Church had a chance to read it and wrote this review for the library blog. 

The Hunger Games is an action-packed thriller.  The kind of story that keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire ride.  This story takes place in a post apocolyptic North America where the government controls its people with fear and brutality.  To remind them of who is in control, every year the government holds a tournament where 2 children from each district must compete in a survivor type game...only this game is to the death.  If you are into high action, suspense, and even a few twists and turns, then this book is worth your time.  Quite honestly, I could not put it down!!

The bulletin board outside the library is for teachers, students, all Clairlea staff and parents to pin their favourite poems for sharing. Signed, anonymous, favourite poets ... doesn't matter. I will leave some thumb tacs on the desk in a container. Just pin your favourite poem on the bulletin board. 
Let's share the joy of words, rhythm, rhyme and beat with one another.

Lots of great titles in our library about students with special needs. Here's a great video (sorry about the quality) to celebrate World Autism Awareness Day (today).
