I really loved it and wanted to share this early Christmas Gift with you all. So here is some really good general information.Commander X Adventures by Jay Piscopo and others - Well as last year around the holiday season the most great and awesome Jay Piscopo and friends have released another online Commander X Book/Graphic Novel!!!!!! To read this excellent and latest installment of the adventures of Commander X, all you have to do is click on the title above or go to http://www.captneli.com/index.php the Official Web Page of all things "The Undersea Adventures of Capt'n' Eli." Just click on the cover with the picture of Commander X and Circe. The best part of all this is it is free!!!! All you have to have is an internet connection and if you do not have that at home just come to the library!!!!!

Hey, again, reader guys, it's Carl with some random cool stuff.
There are some great original Commander X stories on The Undersea Adventures of Capt'n Eli site. Go to their link on the left-hand side of the page or click here. There's one story in a classic Silver Age comic format and two stories that look like they came from old pulp magazines from the '40's or 50's. But, once again, these stories aren't just nostalgia rip-offs; they're exciting stories on their own. Jay Piscopo has created a fascinating and mysterious figure in Commander X and these stories make you want to read more stories to find out more about this man of mystery!
And, as we all know, The Last Olympian comes out on May 5. That's only 22 days!! If you go to the Percy Jackson Book Site on the left-hand side of this page (or click here), you'll see some good trailer videos and have a chance to read the first chapter. The library has ordered 10 copies and we won't get them on May 5 (DRAT!!!) but, as Master Zack pointed out, you can go to the library's catalog page, type in the name, and go to the book's page and reserve a copy. I reserved mine a long time ago, so I hope to get one quickly.
Speaking of Percy, I just put up a link in our Links section that I should have included a long time ago. It's Percyquest, a truly cool fan site devoted to all things Percy Jackson. There's a recent post about who got cast as Luke and Mrs. Dodds (the pre-algebra teacher who got vaporized) in the new Lightning Thief movie as well as a video of Mr. Riordan reading from Chapter 1 of the new book. Have I got you interested???
I've just started a new book called The Roar by Emma Clayton and I think I'm going to like it a lot. Eoin Colfer, who wrote the Artemis Foul books, certainly liked it. I'm in good company!
You all have GOT to read Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix! (go to my post of 4-2-09 if you want to read more) GO GO GO get it!!!
