I've been reading- I just haven't been blogging...

I recently finished a realistic fiction book called Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman.

The main character is a twelve-year-old girl named Emily.  Her family is on a quest to live in all fifty states and as the story begins they have moved to San Francisco, California.  For twelve-year-old Emily, the best thing about moving to San Francisco is that it's the home city of her literary idol: Garrison Griswold, book publisher and creator of the online sensation Book Scavenger (a game where books are hidden in cities all over the country and clues to find them are revealed through puzzles). Upon her arrival, however, Emily learns that Griswold has been attacked and is now in a coma, and no one knows anything about the epic new game he had been poised to launch. Then Emily and her new friend James discover an odd book, which they come to believe is from Griswold himself, and might contain the only copy of his mysterious new game.  If you want to know more, you have to read Book Scavenger.
Happy reading :-)
