"Wealth I ask not, hope nor love; Nor a friend to know me; All I seek, the heaven above; And the road below me." ~Robert Louis Stevenson, "The Vagabond," Songs of Travel [1886]

"There is no one book that is right for all kids. But there are all kinds of crazy, interesting, and amazing books out there. It’s our job to help kids find that book that will inspire them to want to become readers." ~ Jon Scieszka

A library is a portal for time travelers. In it you slip into other dimensions, whether online or in the pages of a book; a time and space continuum governed only by the imagination. It is our sincere hope to open the doors to our global information society and give students here at Cleveland Middle School the interest and tools to navigate its ever-changing venues with confidence, understanding and pleasure.

I agree! I love to read and books for me are a great chance to go to other worlds and be the people living there.When they feel immensely sad,I feel sad too. I read this book one time and I felt like I was going to cry.Sometimes I accually do cry.Books in my case, are places to go when I'm feeling upset, or when I'm bored.

I read the book ink heart. The book includes mystery and at the same time fantasy. While the characters in ink heart are mysterious and quite eerie, they are also people who live in the second realm, which makes the book quite interesting! I really enjoyed this book. I give it a 4 star rating. :)

Shonen Jump #22

It has all different stories in it starting from Beet to Yugio to Dragon Ball Z. My favorite book out of Shonen Jump is Yugio. And I don't want to spoil it so you'll have to read it! And it has 292 pages and the author is Hoashi,Yumi.
