The Battle of the Labyrinth The Battle of the Labyrinth
by Riordan, Rick

Girls in Trucks Girls in Trucks
by Crouch, Katie
This first novel by Katie Crouch turns the high-fallutin' notions of Southern debutante culture on its ear with a dark and frankly sexual tale of awakening. A page-turner by every account, Girls in Trucks blends steamy scenes and heartbreak with an infectious, dreamlike prose, to deliver a graceful work of literature--not to be read while wearing white lace gloves!--Kevin Hunsanger, Green Apple Books (San Francisco, CA)


SUMMER READING PROGRAM AT THE RED BALLOON

Don your trusty cape and hat, grab your magnifying glass and prepare for The Red Balloon's Super Sleuth Summer Reading Program. You can sign up at the Nate the Great storytime or "just appear" at the Red Balloon desk to gather your "book reading evidence folder." Over the long hot summer you can "document your readings" and "build your case" while attempting to earn SECRET REWARDS. All ages welcome! (Read More!)
