Your best friend has been reading the book and FINALLY passes it on to you.  So now what do you do?  Read it, of course, and then sign your name inside of the front cover.  Pass it on to someone else and then come see Mrs. DiPronio in the library.  You will sign our Read It Forward! wall and take the online survey. You may also post your comments about the book and questions for the author on the district-wide wiki.

Enjoy!

Catchy Code

The message below is written in code. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a sign and a number. The words are separated by lines like this: ___. See if you can break the code and read the message. This is a catchy one, so here are two hints: Hint 1: Do the signs look familiar? Think about where you’ve seen them. That’s the key. Hint 2: Notice that the only numbers that appear in the code are 1, 2, and 3. They stand for rows—row 1, row 2, and row 3. (To get you started, ^1 stands for Y, ^2 stands for H, and ^3 stands for N.)
