This is the July installment of my Book of the Month Club. These books have been suggested by a fellow Librarian from Earth, her name is Kit Ward-Crixell and she is a librarian in New Braunfels, Texas, USA.

July's Book of the Month is The Warm Place by Nancy Farmer.

Ruva, a baby giraffe, is stolen by poachers and sent to a zoo. Fortunately, she has the world-famous rat Rodentus von Stroheim the Third as her tutor to help her learn how humans work - and more importantly, how to escape and find her way back home to her mother. You'll love the great characters in this story, from the rats Rodentus and Troll to the tough-guy chameleon Nelson and the human boy Jabila, who can talk to animals. And the nasty troll bad guys are really gross (but not too scary)!

Look for this book in your school or local library and enjoy reading, young Wizards!

Just one Click can Change a Child's Life
As you know, Wizard101 is a fully voiced over game, meaning players can have the text read to them. But imagine if you couldn't read at all? The ability to read, write, and understand allows a level of communication that can make a huge difference in every life and The Literacy Site makes it possible for you to give the gift of reading with just a click.

At The Literacy Site, we believe that educating children around the world to be literate is vital to making the world a better place, for them and for everyone else. The dissemination of knowledge and understanding is stymied for those who see the written word as an unsolvable puzzle. With a click a day, you can help fight the spread of illiteracy, and make a tangible difference in your world.
