Hey, fellow readers in blogville, it's Carl as well, terribly excited about hearing from two people this morning! The first is Spartacus Kilroy, founder of the great Port-O-Door website. It's an Erec Rex fansite run by teens--reader guys (and girls) just like you! Spartacus says:

Hey, Spartacus Kilroy here, the founder of Port-O-Door, and I'd just like to say thanks for linking to us! I love your site! Also, Search for Truth was flabbergastingly amazing! I managed to win a signed advance reviewer's copy from the Erec Rex forum, erecrex.com/forum, so after I read it I had to wait a month or two until I could finally expand upon it's awesomeness, but now I realize it's just too awesome for words.

Thanks, Spartacus! Take a look at their site everyone. It's terrific! I'm in chapter 3 of The Search for Truth and enjoying it. Boy, Erec gets in trouble right away! Kaza Kingsley wastes no time getting the action started!

We also have a review from Jana Warnell, a school librarian, a mom of boys, and faithful follower of this blog:

I have a book review for you! Have you read any of the Young Bond series by Charlie Higson? Great books with the concept of James Bond as a teen--but set in the 1930's. The first two were okay, readable and full of action, but the third, Double or Die, was great! Could hardly put it down. After I was finished I had to run and watch Casino Royale and make a James Bond ringtone for my phone--it was that good!

And thanks to you too, Jana! I've heard the first two Young Bond books were Ok and it's good to hear this one is really good. This was a good review and we appreciate it. Have we made you an Honorary Guy yet? You guys might want to check with your parents before you get any James Bond movies, though, because they always have a lot of--well, I hate to say it--kissing involved. Yes, there are car chases and shooting and things blowing up but there's always kissing. It's only my duty to warn you.

There's one more bit of news for all of you, especially if you were at the Star Wars Camps at the Matthews or Imaginon libraries. We're having our Star Wars Camp Grand Finale on Thursday, July 30 here at Imaginon at 2 pm. We'll have a speaker talk about Luke Skywalker as the Epic Hero, snacks, and show the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated movie. Registration starts at 9:00 tomorrow morning. Call 704-416-4630 to register. Hope to see you there!

Hello everyone in the land of Boys Rule Boys Read, Master Jedi Zack here once again.

I hope everyone is having a great summer. Here at the Matthews Branch Library we have been busy busy busy with lots of fun programs. Last night I had a group of Jedi Padawans here for The Jedi Way. They all created their very own lightsabers and designed space ships. They are nearly ready to go out and defend the galaxy from the sinster Darth Bill and his Sith spawn!

Here are some pictures of the super elite Padawans crafting the lightsabers.

Hello all in the Land of Blog,

I have a very cool post for you today about two very cool Graphic Novels and a special Video from Darth Maul concerning ImaginOn's and Matthew's Joint Hip Happening Star Wars Summer Programs. Let the fun begin!!!!!!!



Pet Robots by Scott Sava and Diego Jordan - This is a very cool Graphic Novel about four kids that visit a toy factor and discover 4 awesome robots that they accidentally bond with. The four robots names and powers are: Wind - super speed, Rock - super strength, Aqua - water shooting powers and Skye - power of flight and super strength. Well unknown to the kids, the robots follow them home and they all become fast friends. The only problem is that the owner of the toy factor is an evil genius named Vandenburger Meisterburger. He made these robots to be used for not so nice purposes and he wants them back. That's when the fun begins!!!! This is an exciting and very funny Graphic Novel that I highly recommend!!!! Two Thumbs up!!!!!!



Don't Look Now by Ed Briant - This is a really cool mostly wordless Graphic Novel/Picture Book about two brothers whose pranks on each other and imaginations build to such a level that what is real and not real becomes very questionable. Not only does this book have Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my; but also dragons, Giant Snakes and Monsters of every shape and color. The art work is really awesome and the story hilarious (I actually found myself laughing out loud at times). If you want to get a little taste of this story and the great artwork check it out:























This is a friendly, but at first ferocious monster from the book who gets ice cream dumped on his head through the boys' actions. Luckily for the boys, he discovers he likes ice cream quite allot!!!!! Trust me on this one, give it a try and I promise you will not be disappointed!!!!! Three Monster Thumbs Up!!!!!

And now we have a special anouncement from Darth Maul concerning ImaginOn's and Matthew's ultra-cool Summer Star Wars Programs:





Well that's all for now Cowpokes. See ya on the flipside,


Bill
