Read the Avi story, Reading the Sky, in the Centre Daily Times each Sunday and Tuesday until the end of July. This is the story of young boy who can see wonderful stories in the cloud formations, but also a tale of a bank heist and the effort to get away by jumping out of a plane (remember this true story from some years back?). The robber thinks no one will be watching the sky. Avi is an award-winning author who started Breakfast Serials because he had enjoyed reading stories in the newspaper when he was younger. Schlow owns many of his wonderful books, but this story is only available in the Centre Daily Times. A copy is also available in the Adult Dept at the referenceQuestions that you ask of library staff that require knowledge of the content of the collection or other resources such as those on the web.

You can write a review of it online. And watch the sky all summer - even the clouds tell a story. Sponsored by Centre County Reads.
