Summer Reading Updates

I recently ran across two interesting links to add to my summer reading programs.
Over at Lectitans you can participate in a Pirate Reading Challenge until September 19th and the Today Show has announced their 3rd book in their summer book club, Swordbird. I had read the first two books before they were announced, but I have not read Swordbird which was written by Nancy Yi Fan when she was 12 years old. Sounds interesting (a bit like Redwall) and I will be off to the bookstore or library to find it.
Coming next week:
Following my kids interests: Robots, Butterflies, and Puppies! Oh my!
