Book to Movie: Flipped


Have you read Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen? It's a book that "flips" from two points of view: eighth graders Bryce and Juli. Juli starts out in love with Bryce, while Bryce thinks Juli is nuts. But then, their opinions start to flip...


Now, there's a movie coming out based on the book! Check out the official movie trailer here: http://flipped-movie.warnerbros.com/


And check out the book at Northlake! Ask a librarian to help you find it.

Have you heard the news? Playaways are here!


Playaways are the newest way to read a book. They are like audiobooks, but instead of checking out tapes or CDs, you check out a mini mp3 player that's already got the book uploaded to it. All you need are a pair of headphones. You can buy ear buds at the Youth Information Desk for $1.
