I just finished the book Period 8 by Chris Crutcher.  I would give this book 5 stars, I will be able to book talk it to my students who will want to know what exactly happens and why but I shall just lead them along... they will beg for extra copies which I don't have.   However maybe I will make a book trailer for it for my class.

Chris Crutcher has written many books that really entrance boys, or reluctant readers. He normally has a protagonist that is involved in some kind of sport, not necessarily a team sport.  He has strong male leads that discuss difficulties with family and relationships.This story even has a mystery going on around the period 8 where students meet each day for lunch to discuss problems but someone is lying and sooner or later someone will figure that out.

So happy with my readbox for my class, I am going to list pictures from the new releases for the front screen so students can see what they may want to check out. It will promote new books and add visual interest to the library.  I will take more photos when I have it set up in there Monday.

 It has been a reading busy weekend. Off to work.
