Book Fair!

Every fall and spring our school has a Scholastic Book Fair. In August, I get the Book Fair for Fall on my calendar. The librarian is a buddy of mine, and my daughter and I get to shop "Sneak Peek" on Friday afternoon before the Fair opens Monday morning. Same thing, then, in January: I've got to know when the Book Fair is coming.

I adore Scholastic: great teaching materials, great prices on books, totally NUTS fun stuff for kids!!! I even do the classroom fliers and book orders, for the points to use on classroom goodies. So today, we got to Sneak in on the spring sale.

I bought: Bones of Faerie (hardback!), Savvy (hardback), Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism, Gamer Girl, and, for THREE DOLLARS IN HARDBACK!!!!!... The Sea of Trolls!!!!! One of my FAVES! plus it's by Nancy Farmer, who also wrote A Girl Named Disaster, another fave. Katie got a poster for her bedroom, and our total was $31. Not that it needs to be said, but we walked away from another stack of books we wanted, but I couldn't spend more.
