Ms. Olson is reading Graceling by Kristin Cashore

Ms. Olson was telling me about this book, which is also YA (that classified for Young Adult readers 15-19 years old). It sounds very interesting--based on talents like swimming, mind reading, and everything in between and beyond! Although we won't have it in the middle school library, you may want to take a look at the public library.

Ms. Olson has moved on to the Fire, which is described as "a loosely-related companion to Graceling."

Here is a link!
