The Fantasy Explosion

Submitted by Jennifer Finch on Wed, 07/07/2010 - 12:52pm
Have you noticed the explosion of fantasy books? You can’t go five books on a shelf in the Teen section without at least 1 fantasy book. And while I love fantasy, there are many fantastic (pun fully intended) non-fantasy titles. They range from historical fiction, to mystery, or even the dreaded school story (just kidding!).

The Prinny Cart is Born!

  The Bear Creek TAB has been working hard on our project for the Art Cart Parade this Saturday at the Sam Houston Park.  The TAB (teen advisory board)  decided they wanted to make a Prinny, which is a video game character.  They designed and sewed together our Prinny from scratch and with no pattern.  While we didn't use any of our books to help us (though thinking back, we probably should have) here are some books that you can use to help create just about anything.

SAT time

Submitted by Jennifer Finch on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 2:23pm

 It's that time where highschoolers around the country take the test that could make or break there hopes for the future.  Not to be melodramatic about it, but it is a very important test.  I, of course, highly reccomend study breaks.  Read these three books and you can honestly tell your parents that you are reading about the SAT test.
