During the month of February, Prairie students voted for their favorite of the 2009 Rebecca Caudill titles. The ballots were counted and The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan won by a large margin. Second and third place winners were close with The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick beating Susan Beth Pfeffer’s novel Life as We Knew It by only two votes. We will need to wait a few more weeks before the state winner is announced.Any students looking for a good book to read should follow their peers’ suggestions and check out one of Prairie’s winners!
Students may be interested in reading some other novels by our winning author, Rick Riordan. His Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is quite popular with middle school students. Many of us are eagerly awaiting his last book of the series that will be published in early May.
