Brand New Books!

The newest book in the NHCS Library Media Center is Tucker's Countryside, the sequel to A Cricket in Times Square! What's a sequel, you say? It's a book that continues the story of another book by the same author. And this book continues the story of Chester Cricket, the spring after he gets back to Connecticut. Tucker is in this book, of course - and so is Harry Cat. Is that Tucker on the cover? It looks like he's in some kind of trouble!

Here's part of the blurb from the back cover of the book:

Chester Cricket needs help. That's the message that John Robin carries to the Times Square subway station where Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse live. Quickly, Chester's good friends set off on the long, hard journey to the Old Meadow, where all is not well. 

This book isn't a Newbery Honor Book like A Cricket in Times Square. But it's a New York Times Book of the Year - and that's good! Check out Tucker's Countryside next time you come to the Library Media Center!

Also new to the library are Chester Cricket's New Home and Chester Cricket's Pigeon Ride. Come on into the Library Media Center to borrow either of these books. I'd love to have a guest blogger post reviews of one or both of these books!
