It's Here!




The next Kane Chronicles book has arrived! I know many of you have been anxiously waiting for Rick Riordan's next book, The Throne of Fire, and I'm happy to say that the Wallingford Children's Library now has 5 copies in the collection. Two of these are in our "Express Collection," so if the waiting list is just too long for you, take a glance at our Express Shelf the next time you are in the library - it might just be your lucky day! (Don't know about our Express Collection? Just ask at the Children's Desk.)

And for those of you who have ALREADY finished the book (I know there are some of you out there!), what did you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments. Please be careful with what you say - you don't want to spoil the book for anyone else.
