About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

Calamity Jack



Calamity Jack by Shannon and Dean Hale

Jack thinks of himself as a criminal mastermind with an unfortunate amount of bad luck. A schemer, a trickster... maybe a thief? But, of course he's not out for himself, he's trying to take the burden off his hardworking mom's shoulders. She'd understand, right? He hopes she might even be proud. Then, one day, Jack choose a target a little more ... "giant" than usual, and as one little bean turns into a great big building destroying beanstalk, his troubles really begin. But with the help of Rapunzel and other eccentric friends, Jack just might out-swindle the evil-giants and put his beloved city back in the hands of the people who live there ... whilst catapulting them and the reader into another fantastical adventure.

A fun follow up to Rapunzel's Revenge.
