This month we challenge our staff and our patrons to read a book from an FCPL booklist. Our Youth Services staff update our book lists each year with new and exciting titles! There is a theme for everyone! Take a look at our Kids Booklists or try one of the recommendations below.
Beginning Chapter Books (Grades 1-3)
by Bruce Hale
The houses of all Three (not-so-) Little Pigs were broken into and ransacked, and the Pigs are squealing for justice. So Prince Tyrone, ruler of Fairylandia, drags in the obvious suspect: Wolfgang. The lone wolf has big teeth, sharp claws, no alibi--and a single day to find the real culprit and clear his big bad name. When Wolf (reluctantly) teams up with the fourth Little Pig to crack the case, the Big Bad Detective Agency--and an adventure way funnier than your average fairy tale--is born!
This title is from the Fairy Tales Retold booklist.
by Daisy Meadows
On their first visit to Friendship Forest, Lily and Jess must rescue baby bunny Lucy Longwhiskers from the evil witch Grizelda.
This title is from the Fantasy booklist.
by Nancy Krulik
Zeke Zander wants everyone to think he is a typical second-grader. He just has to keep his talking cat, antennae, and ability to make himself invisible a secret. That's because Zeke isn't really a normal kid. He's an alien from Planet Z! And he's stuck on Earth until his family can fix their spaceship. But trying to act like an Earth kid feels pretty weird--and home feels like it's light-years away!
This title is from the Science Fiction booklist.
Chapter Books (Grades 3-5)
by Russell Ginns
Samantha's uncle mysteriously disappears, leaving behind extravagant gifts for her siblings and an old, rusty, red umbrella for Samantha that may contain clues to his whereabouts.
This title is from the Mysteries and Crime Solving booklist.
by Ann Clare LeZotte
It is 1805 and Mary Lambert has always felt safe among the deaf community of Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard where practically everyone communicates in a shared sign language, but recent events have shattered her life; her brother George has died, land disputes between English settlers and the Wampanoag people are becoming increasingly bitter, and a "scientist" determined to discover the origins of the islands' widespread deafness has decided she makes the perfect "live specimen"--and kidnapped her.
This title is from the Peculiar Reads for Precocious Kids booklist.
Twelve-year-old Cooper Vega and his military family have moved so often that he is used to new schoolmates not knowing his name, but at the moment he has a bigger problem--his new phone is haunted by the ghost of Roderick Northrop, a boy from the sixteenth-century, who needs his help to finish a quest, which is somehow tied up in the Stratford Middle School production of Romeo and Juliet.
This title is from the Scary Stories booklist.
If you need help selecting a book for any of our Reading Challenges in 2021, you can Contact a Librarian or visit the Ask Us desk of any Forsyth County Public Library branch.
