Weekly Spotlight

Simon Bloom is in big trouble. Sure, he knows all the secrets that allow him to defy gravity and the other laws of physics, but these are powerful secrets. Secrets that some would do anything to obtain. When the Teacher's Edition of Physics literally landed in his lap, Simon was psyched - what kid wouldn't want to learn how to fly? But now he and his friends are being chased by a very dangerous and evil group of people who are determined to get their hands on the book. And if they do, it could mean the end of the world.

Fans of adventure stories and science-fiction alike should delight in this story from first-time author, Michael Reisman.

Want to check this book out? Simon Bloom: The Gravity Keeper is shelved in the children's library's Fiction collection (the books that wrap around the tree) under "R" for Reisman.
