Here are the booktalks that I've written for various booktalking occasions. Feel free to tweak, reuse, and share.
When Malcolm and Maud Angel are murdered, the only suspects are their children, Tandy Angel and her brothers. Tandy is a whip-smart prodigy and she’s got secrets, some of which even she doesn’t understand. But she couldn’t have killed her own parents could she? You tell me. Does this girl look like a murderer to you?
Any gamers out there? This one’s for you. Wei-Dong lives in L.A. and lives for playing MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role playing games) like World of Warcraft or SkyRim. He’s picked up a bunch of friends from China to go on raids with him, but what Wei-Dong doesn’t know is that his friends are actually “gold farmers,” playing the game as a job, amassing game wealth that can be sold to Western players at a mark-up. When he finds out how his friends are being exploited, he knows he has to push back. He teams up with his friends and start planning a rebellion, one the likes of which no one has seen before. What starts as an in game revolution turns into a real life protest that can have deadly consequences for all involved.
This contains all my library adventures in my teeny tiny library in Northern Minnesota. I will feature programming, storytime plans, book reviews, and other musings on stuff that I find interesting. Thanks for visiting!
