Comet's Curse

Hey,

Where are you guys in this book?  Didn't start, in the middle, or already finished?

I am in the middle and plan to finish it up this weekend for we will have our LAST MEETING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR ON MONDAY.  We will vote on a book that we want to order for the summer.  Hopefully, books will be ready by the last day of school so you can stop in and grab one!

See you Monday!  Read UP!
