For the month of August we have 2 options - Wings of Fire by Tui T. Sutherland and The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann.

In "Wings of Fire Graphic Novel #1: The Dragonet Prophecy" five dragonets are hidden away under a mountain, raised by the Talons of Peace, to fulfill a prophecy and end the war between the dragon tribes.They escape their mountain home, encountering danger and learning about the conflict firsthand, ultimately choosing freedom over their predetermined destiny.

Recommended for 3rd-7th grade readers. Read summary reviews from young readers here.

In Lisa McMann's "The Unwanteds," thirteen-year-olds in the dystopian land of Quill are sorted into Wanteds, Necessaries, and Unwanteds. Those deemed Unwanted are sent to a supposed death farm, but instead, they discover a magical sanctuary called Artimé, where creativity is celebrated and magic is learned through artistic expression.

Process for At-Home Projects

We have a new quick check-out / check-in when picking up materials and dropping off completed projects! Huge thank you to those already doing this! It is already helping us tremendously.

Simply scan the QR code each time you are picking up materials and answer a few quick questions. When dropping off your completed project, you'll scan the other QR code, answer those questions and vóila, we'll know which materials were picked up and which projects turned back in without having to drive all over town or bug you about it!
