Liar & Spy and The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee share a book birthday!

If you are like me, you have been eagerly anticipating the release of the latest Tom Angleberger book - The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee.  This is the third book in the Origami Yoda series.


Here is a video of Tom Angleberger teaching readers how to fold their own Fortune Wookiee.




The other much anticipated book that is finally arriving in stores is Newbery Winner, Rebecca Stead's Liar & Spy.


I had a chance to read an early copy of this book and loved it.  I am excited to share this with children at school this year.

Here is a video of Rebecca Stead talking about her book When You Reach Me.



Look for both of these books at your local school or public library or independent bookstore.  Happy Reading!!!
