More than 3,700 children participated in Richmond Public Library’s Summer Reading Club this year.
SRC is a provincial program sponsored by the BC Library Association and the provincial government, with support from the RBC Foundation.
A special thank you to the Ackroyd White Spot for the Pirate Pak coupons. Visit the library’s website (yourlibrary.ca) for great fall programs.
Boy vs. Beast: Aquatan by Mac Park
Reviewed by Derek L. Age 6
This book is about a boy named Kai versus a beast (water elemental). In the end Kai won using the torpedo crossbow.
I like this book because the beast looks cool. It has a snake-like body that can coil up like a figure eight.
Island Trilogy by Gordon Korman
Reviewed by Raveen D. Age 10
This series of books is about six kids who are forced onto a boat with a terrible captain. They are shipwrecked onto a tiny desert island where they must survive until they are rescued. Will they make it?
I like this book because it is very emotional, mixed in with laughter and fear at the same time.
The author did a very good job of keeping your full attention in the book.
I couldn’t put it down until I finished it! There are three books in the series.
Vanishing Acts by Leslie Margolis
Reviewed by Aditi S. Age 11
This book is about a girl named Maggie who tries to find an actor who disappeared.
She also tries to solve the mystery of who attacked the dogs.
I like this book because it takes a lot of pieces from different parts of the story.
The pieces turn out to be clues for solving the main problem. In addition, I like how the author uses suspense.
The suspense made me feel like I could not stop reading the book.
