For twelve-year-old Emily, the best thing about moving to San Francisco is that it's the home city of her literary idol: Garrison Griswold, book publisher and creator of the online sensation Book Scavenger (a game where books are hidden in cities all over the country and clues to find them are revealed through puzzles). Upon her arrival, however, Emily learns that Griswold has been attacked and is now in a coma, and no one knows anything about the epic new game he had been poised to launch.

There is so much more to teaching today than simply teaching. Prepping for multiple courses, grading papers, duties, coaching, class advising, lack of parental support, limited administrative support, etc. These distractions make it more and more difficult to find the time to sustain a level of creativity in the classroom. Everyone could use a playbook. Something to refer to that provides that specific spark or research that can enhance the classroom experience. This book will provide you with ways to deliver curriculum, not organize it. The best material in the world is often ignored by students because of the method it is delivered. You may even discover that after reading and implementing ideas from this book, you will begin to surprise yourself with additional ideas of your own.

A funny, playful salute to the power and importance of books from New York Times best-selling author Carmen Agra Deedy. When Sunrise Elementary School advertised for a thick-skinned librarian with a burning love of books, Miss Lotta Scales knew she was perfect for the job. Who could guard books better than a REAL dragon? Yet when she won't let any of the children take a book from the shelves, the teachers form a delegation. Not even sweet Miss Lemon can convince Miss Lotta Scales that "the library belongs to the children." Fortunately, when nearsighted Molly Brickmeyer stumbles onto a copy of Snuff the Magic Dragon and reads the tale out loud, her storytelling beckons the children back to the library and brings them face to face with the Library Dragon. Can an open book temper the flames of the school's hotheaded librarian? Filled with clever dragon puns, this is an entertaining story, now available in an audio edition, about the power and importance of books for both children and adults.
