Borrow Me at CRBLC!
Far from Wonder by Frank Beddor – “Like a violent birth, Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan explodes through a puddle on the Champs Elysées from his world in the year 1859, shockingly separated from the future Queen of Wonderland he had been entrusted to protect. Pursued by the police, taunted by nationalistic Frenchmen and challenged by an evil black magician, Hatter must evade the authorities while simultaneously searching for lost princess Alyss!”
CRBLC Movie of the Week:
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days – “During his summer vacation, ʻWimpy Kidʻ Greg Heffley, hatches a plan to pretend he has a job at a ritzy country club — which fails to keep him away from the season’s dog days, including embarrassing mishaps at a public pool and a camping trip that goes horribly wrong.”
