Backstories: Batgirl: New Hero of the Night by Matthew Manning

Finished the book

This turned out to be a reference book not a story. Keeping that in mind, it was not bad. But it had one huge error. Barbara Gordon, a.k.a. Batgirl, is a librarian!

Backstories: Batgirl: New Hero of the Night by Matthew Manning

Interest Level: 3-7 grade
Reading Level: 4.0
Lexile: 1100L
Genre: Science Fiction

Currently on pg. 25

I LOVE Batgirl. The main reason I love her is because she is a librarian. In this book, Barbara Gordon is not a librarian. She owns and runs a company called Gordon Clean Energy. I will still read the book and display it with my other Batgirl stuff in the library.

The Nest by Kenneth Oppel

Interest Level: 5-8
Reading Level: 4.0
Lexile: 640L
Genre: Horror Fiction

Finished book

I am reading this book because it is nominated for the 2018 ORCA. I would probably have not chose to read this book. I usually do not like scary books or movies. This book, however, is not that scary. I believe that if I were afraid of wasps or bees that this book would freak me out a bit more than it actually did. I will recommend this book to students that like creepy tales.
