We are excited about our event with Barton Seaver for a Father's Day grilling demonstration on Saturday, June 15th at 4pm. Barton was recently featured on Williams-Sonoma's blog, where they talk about that special something in successful summer grilling - SMOKE! Barton will be grilling up Orange Scented Bluefish and Grilled Kale - YUM! Saturday the 15th is also the day of Wellesley Theatre Project's Cone Crawl. You can download the flier for all the fun details HERE.

On Tuesday, June 18th at 7:00pm, come spend an evening with local Sudbury author Laura Anderson as she wraps you up in the secrets, betrayals and lies of her alternative Tudor England by imaging this simple but history-shattering question: What if Anne Boleyn had given Henry VIII a healthy son who had lived?

Beekeeper, author and the visionary behind Red Bee ® Artisanal Honey, Marina Marchesa will be here on Sunday, June 23rd at 2:00pm. Get a delicious introduction to the world of honey and taste some of the amazing new varieties with Marina Marchese as she presents her new book The Honey Connoisseur. Marchese will teach you everything you need to know about tasting, selecting and cooking with honey while also offering simple recipes for dressings, marinades, quick-and-easy desserts, and beverages. A perfect book for light summer entertaining! This event is free of charge.

Back by popular demand is the  Where's Waldo? Scavenger Hunt. Please check out our website for all of the details and a list of participating stores.

Pegasus, Olympus at War by Kate O'Hearn
Recommended by Julia, age 9
Pegasus, Olympus at War, is a really good book.  Read the first book before you read this one because otherwise you won't get some of the stuff in this book.  In this book, Emily, Pegasus, Joel, Cupid and Paelen came down from Olympus to Earth to save Emily's father from the CRU.  They had many adventures, which made the book exciting to read.  This book was scarier than the first one because there were more evil sides and no one could help them because the gods were focused on saving Olympus.  I would recommend this book to people who like books about Roman mythological characters.  
 
The Last Dogs: Dark Waters by Christopher Holt
Recommended by Gina, age 12
Max, Gizmo, and Rocky are on the hunt for their people in this second installment of The Last Dogs trilogy. In a new place, the three aren't sure who they can trust. Are their new friends hiding something? What are the true intentions of Gertrude the pig, who is supposed to help them? And what are people, who were supposed to all be gone, doing in the city? On a journey that takes them all over, Max, Gizmo, and Rocky must find the clues to join their people. This book is suspenseful but very funny as well.
 
Odessa Again by Dana Reinhardt
Recommended by Julia, age 11
In this book, Odessa Green-Light discovers she can go back in time through her attic.  She attempts to use her powers for good, and to fix the things that matter most.  I liked how in this book, Odessa at first dislikes her brother and ignores him, but eventually uses her powers to help him. I also loved all the different characters and the different elements to this book. I would recommend this book to kids in 4th grade who like books that are realistic and about daily life, but also have one thing that is fantasy-like.

Sidekicked by John David Anderson (due on our shelves on June 25th)
Recommended by Eleanor, age 13
Sidekicked was an awesome book that all my siblings loved. It is about a boy named Drew who is part of a secret sidekick organization called H.E.R.O and is located in his school's basement. Along with his best friend Jenna, he fights crime as the sensationalist. His powers are the ability to hear, smell, taste, see and feel better that anyone else. With a great conclusion that surprises everyone, this is an awesome book that is funny and filled with action and drama!
