Grimm Thoughts

German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm first published Grimms' Fairy Tales in 1812. That was 200 years ago! And yet, to this day, young and old alike are familiar with their beloved stories. I've had a lot of Grimm thoughts lately. Tonight, my sister and I are volunteering to be characters from Hansel & Gretel at a friend's "A Night Dark and Grimm" party. Tomorrow, I'm hosting a Girl Scout tour centered around the Sisters Grimm book series by Michael Buckley. And I'm currently reading a teen book that fractures "The Little Mermaid" fairytale (Yes, you're right--that one came from Hans Christian Andersen. Thanks for clearing that up.) Actually, I read more than my fair share of fractured fairytales.

MDBC

Do you know what MDBC stands for? Mother-Daughter Book Club. No, it's not a new program here at the library. It's a great book series for ten to fourteen-year-old girls. What makes it great? Two things --

1. Four very different middle schoolers are forced to join a book club. With their mothers. The horror! But instead of disaster, unlikely and unexpected friendships are forged.

2. Each book in the series is tied to a classic piece of literature. And, amazingly, the storylines in those books are still relevant to these modern girls' lives.

Reading Snapshot #2

Remember how I promised a monthly blog series called Reading Snapshot? Well, I keep my promises. Here's what we're currently reading.

New from Rick Riordan

If you haven't heard of Rick Riordan, you've been living in a post-apocalyptic bunker, cut off from the world. He's the #1 New York Times bestselling author of three different series-- Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Kane Chronicles, and Heroes of Olympus. He's also penned a few of the 39 Clues titles. He's a big deal.

Anima Manga Club

Are you an otaku? Otaku is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga or Japanese video games. Does that sound like you? Are you interested in hanging out with other teens just as fascinated by Japanese entertainment? Of course you are. So come to the Anima Manga Club on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. Watch anime and talk manga with other 7th-12th graders. Further incentive required? Okay, there are also free snacks.
