Leslie Margolis did a fantastic job with her book "Ghosted." This modern twist on Dickens, A Christmas Carol is sure to have middle school readers entertained and turning pages. Thirteen year old Ellie Charles, the main character seems to have her "mean-girl" persona up to par until she falls in the middle school gym right before her big winter dance. She travels back in time, explores the present and gets a peek of the future while being accompanied by a familiar yet unknown ghost. Will Ellie be able to change her awful self in time to change the future ? A must read for middle schoolers and fans of Meangirls everywhere.

DIY Gingerbread Display
Happy holidays everyone! I currently created a holiday book display with foam board gingerbread men and candy created with paper plates and cellophane. My lovely page Ariel created the gingerbread men with paint, foam board, and small paper bowls that she painted along with rope.
We displayed Christmas books from our holiday children's collection so that patrons can check out our collection. Inbox or comment here if you have any questions about the display!
