Welcome to the Caudill Club at DPPL!
Hi! I'm Mrs. McLaughlin (Mrs. M for short) at the Des Plaines Public Library and I'm very excited to welcome you to the 2nd year of our online Caudill Club. If you're between the 4th and 8th grade and read at least three of this year's nominated books, you can vote in February for the 2010 Rebecca Caudill Young Readers' Book Award.Use the menu on the right to find the book titles. On each page, you'll find a summary of the plot, a picture of its cover and a place to write your review and rate the book. You'll also find links to Web sites that are related to the book. You can even go right to our online catalog to place a hold by clicking on the underlined title!
Feel free to leave comments about the books you read, questions you have about a book, and especially suggestions for other things you'd like to see here. For example, would you like to have online book discussions? Are you willing to write reviews for books you've read? Recommend titles you think should be nominated for future awards? This club is for you - let me know what you'd like to see!
I have a question to get you started: I've been (or will be) talking to lots of you during school visits and here at the library. I'm curious -- what books are you looking forward most to reading? Or which ones would you definitely recommend? (To post a Comment, you'll be asked to select an identity. Just pick the button that says "Name/URL" and type your first name and last initial into the box. Ignore the URL box.)

I can't wait to learn what book you want to read first!
The books I have read so far are Elephant Run, Kimchi and Calamari, and Shooting The Moon! I liked Kimchi an Calamari the best! I have started the naked mole rat. I picked it because I looked funny, is it?
What book would you most recomend that I have not read?
Ellie, I think you'll like The Naked Mole-Rat Letters. I also think you'd enjoy Home of the Brave and A Small White Scar.
thanks
I love the naked mole rat letters
Hi,
I just wanted to know what books I have sent in feed back forms for? I am not sher if I sent in the naked mole rat letters. I liked the book so much my mom wants to read it!
Hi Ellie,
Actually, you haven't sent me any Feedback Forms yet even though you've commented on quite a few of the titles. To get to the Feedback Forms, you need to start on the book's page and then click on the link to "Feedback Form." Thanks for asking!
Thanks! All send in the feed back forms in today. I just stared Jermy Fink and the Meaning of Life, it is not as good as I thought it would be. Actually it is pooting me to sleep.

jeremy fink is such an awsome book on of the best ive read 10/10 rating
What book should I read next?
Hi Ellie,
Sorry to take so long to answer your question; it kind of got lost in my inbox! First, I really recommend Home of the Brave. I know the cover isn't the best, but I think you might like the story. It's one of my favorites. Second, try Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree.
