What's Mrs. U Reading Now?

Yay! Rick Riordan (author of the Lightning Thief) has come up with a new book series about the Egyptian mythology. I am very excited to read it, as I am sure most of my students are. It's called the Red Pyramid.

Bull Rider

Really great story! It's very topical in that the main character's older brother is injured in Iraq. He then decides to try to win his family money by entering in bull riding contests (behind his mother's back). The characters are very real, with lots of faults, and very relatable. You don't need to know anything of the ranching/bull riding culture to enjoy this story. Try it!
