I hope that EVERY CHILD in the Lyell-Otis area accepts this challenge, reads the 8 books, and receives their new FREE BOOK, courtesy of Barnes & Noble!

I'd love it if the kids would write/email to tell me which stories they liked the best! We'll even publish the children's messages/comments right here on the LONA-KIDS page!

Our children are smart, bright, and deserve the BEST! Read to your child, and let your child read to you! Reading - what a great way to brighten up a rainy summer day!
