Brian Selznick, the author of The Invention of Hugo Cabret, has an awesome new book out! Listen to him talk about what Wonderstruck is about, and what he likes about creating new books.

More in the 39 Clues series!

I thought that the idea of having multiple authors each write a book for the 39 clues series was genius! Apparently, they did too, because now they're coming out with a spin-off of the series- Cahills vs. Vespers.
The first book is already out, but check out the website at http://www.the39clues.com/areyouready . The video is really awesome, and it looks like there are some fun games to play on the site.

Hunger Games Trailer

Here is the newly released Hunger Games trailer. It is pretty good, but I wish it were longer! I only hope the movie can live up to the awesomeness of the book!
