Maisie Dobbs: A Novel / Jacqueline Winspear Is it possible to love a book so much that each time you reread it, it feels like you’re visiting an old friend? If it is, then that’s what this series is to me, an old friend. This first book in the series introduces you to Maisie and her smart wit, bravery and just all-around awesomeness (partly because she loves books too!) The series follows her life as a young maid, a nurse and a private investigator solving cases. You will begin to know these characters as your family and friends and that’s what I love about it. Happy reading! - Megan October Sky Fall is in the air and school is in full swing. So what better time to tell you about October Sky – the true story of how a group of high school students from Coalwood, West Virginia set out to do something that seemed impossible in the 1950s -build rockets. Based on the acclaimed memoir by Homer Hickam, this feel-good movie will have you cheering on the Rocket Boys as they work to perfect their design, and leave you captivated as their final rocket soars through the air. Grab the popcorn and enjoy! - Kim
