Letter from Booker T. Worm
When we last wrote we were on our way to the White House for the Opening Ceremony of the National Book Festival. As promised, we brought along your letters to the First Lady and delivered them to her Deputy Press Secretary. We heard from over 1,500 of you! What fun it was to read what you had to say.

So much has been going on recently. Everyone is rushing around getting ready for Halloween. We all love dressing up and trick or treating --- just like you. The only candy we do not like is Gummy Worms. I am sure you can understand why! See my selection of costumes is on the Halloween Books page.

By the way if you cannot see our snazzy new newsletter in color, complete with pictures of book covers, go to the link at the bottom of my letter to read our newsletter online. For kids on AOL with Kids Only accounts, we cannot send you newsletters with graphics, so this link is your ticket to see the pictures that we have added.

And without further ado...our lineup for the week...
ELOISE by Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight

From New York to Paris to Moscow, take a stroll through the world of Eloise, an extremely precocious 6-year-old girl. Kidsreads shares her joyful view of life by celebrating her new book, ELOISE TAKES A BAWTH, and bringing you a feature full of interesting info, an interview with Hilary Knight, and all things Eloise.

Boxcar Mysteries by Gertrude Chandler Warner

Check out the 90 plus mystery reviews in our feature, accompanied by a word scramble, a challenging maze, and information on how The Boxcar Mysteries first began.

A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS by Lemony Snicket

We're counting down the days till the new Lemony Snicket book --- THE CARNIVOROUS CARNIVAL --- comes out! To celebrate the Series of Unfortunate Events we have some party ideas, as well as some fun games to play.
SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS by Lemony Snicket
