Skyview Middle School Library

If you’re a Percy Jackson fan, you’ll be excited to know that there’s a new book in the series, and you can check it out at the Skyview Library! There are LOTS of new books in the library, including some new Minecraft novels, the 4th book in the Inheritance Games series (did you know they’re making a TV series out of it?) and new teen cookbooks. Stop by and take a look, or look here.

If you’re interested in Battle of the Books this year, go to Mrs. Burton’s classroom over lunch on Thursdays. (She’s in Rm. B117, downstairs.) Curious about the books?

📘 Featured title: ‘A Snake Falls to Earth’
✍️Author: Darcie Little Badger

What’s it about?  Nina is a Lipan girl in our world. She’s always felt there was something more out there. She still believes in the old stories. Oli is a cottonmouth kid, from the land of spirits and monsters. Like all cottonmouths, he’s been cast from home. He’s found a new one on the banks of the bottomless lake. Nina and Oli have no idea the other exists. But a catastrophic event on Earth, and a strange sickness that befalls Oli’s best friend, will drive their worlds together in ways they haven’t been in centuries. And there are some who will kill to keep them apart. Darcie Little Badger introduced herself to the world with Elatsoe. In A Snake Falls to Earth, she draws on traditional Lipan Apache storytelling structure to weave another unforgettable tale of monsters, magic, and family. It is not to be missed.
