Letter from Booker T. Worm |
We know that Judy Blume is one of your FAVORITE authors! She is one of ours too. The news this week is that her newest book in the Fudge series --- DOUBLE FUDGE --- just came out. We have a BIG feature about that for you, complete with trivia games and TWO word scrambles (one is easy and the other is a challenge!).
By the way if you cannot see our snazzy new newsletter in color, complete with pictures of book covers, go to the link at the bottom of my letter to read our newsletter online. For kids on AOL with Kids Only accounts, we cannot send you newsletters with graphics, so this link is your ticket to see the pictures that we have added.
And without further ado...our lineup for the week... |
