Story Hour with Patrick at Phoenix Books Every Tuesday at 10:00am

We're over the moon to announce that the charming and hugely talented Patrick Sosa is making his way to Phoenix Books every Tuesday morning at 10:00am for Story Hour. Clap your hands, sing songs and of course hear some great children's stories. "How will we all fit and still be able to do the hokey pokey," you ask? Well, our remainder tables are now on casters (you know remainders always go fast) and we can easily move them out of the way to get the party started!

So break out your Buster Browns, and refresh your Itsy Bitsy Spider for a fun Tuesday morning at Phoenix.

Waffles for Dinner Book Club

The Waffles for Dinner Book Club for middle readers brought to you by our own Dennis Griffin, the ebullient agent for getting kids to talk about good books for the sheer fun of it! It is at both Phoenix (10 - 11a) and Red Hill (12:30 - 1:30p).

Unexplained disappearances, daring thefts, perplexing mysteries, and the greatest sleuths of all time combine in this page-turning read. From Sherlock Holmes to Hercule Poirot, famous detectives puzzle their way through a maze of alibis and motives in this superb selection of classic and contemporary crime fiction.

The God of Animals

Another coming of age story? Haven't we read everything there is to read about growing up yet? Not quite.
The God of Animals is, technically, a coming-of-age novel, but it is a fresh and challenging one. It's full of characters, likable and not, that feel like real people. Narrated by Alice Winston, a 12-year old girl growing up on a horse ranch full of broken-down horses and breaking-down people, the story covers some dark territory. But the narrator's curiosity and spirit keep the book from ever getting bogged down. Though the story is anything but a "feel good" one, whenever I read a book that is as well written and compelling as this one, it makes me feel good.
