What's Mrs. B Reading?
Restart by Gordan Korman
Anything written by Gordan Korman is amazing. He speaks teen language so well. His stories are always full of adventure and fun. This story starts with a teenage boy that falls off his roof and remembers nothing of who he is. He goes to an ice cream shop only to have someone throw their ice cream at him and walk out. He knows his name is Chase, but who really is Chase? Some kids worship him but many fear him. Throughout the book he is challenged by his "friends" and family to be who he was. But the more he finds out about who he was, the more he wants a fresh start. It is a quick read. I know you will love it. Look for this book and many more books by Korman coming to our library soon.

LUNCH AND CHOMP POLICY
✳️Here's how to create the e-hall pass if you need to visit the library during Chomp. Our new librarian is Mrs. Bially.
- Select YOUR CHOMP TEACHER's name, First & Last name of your teacher, for "Departing From."
- Select Kathleen Bially for "Destination."
- You must write a "NOTE" to let Mrs. Bially know why you would like to go to the library during Chomp time. MAKE SURE TO BRING WORK WITH YOU.
- Mrs. Bially will approve your pass. Once she does, you are able to leave your Chomp class to go to the library.
- IMPORTANT: IF YOUR PASS DOES NOT GET APPROVED, IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL. TRUST ME. SOMETIMES THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY PEOPLE DOWN HERE.
