Über-Exciting Author News!

Over the holidays, the Children's Department received two mind-bogglingly amazing pieces of news! First of all, J.K. Rowling announced the title of what will be the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series, for which we all wait with bated breath: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now we are all speculating wildly about what this title could mean for the ultimate fate of our favorite bespectacled hero. PLEASE don't kill off Harry, Ron, or Hermione, we beg you, J.K.! And please don't make us wait until 2008 to read what is sure to be a masterpiece.


In news a little closer to home but just as cool, award-winning author Rick Riordan took notice of our blog posting about the latest Dis-a-Book on his smash hit, The Lightning Thief. We received two official Camp Half-Blood t-shirts to use as giveaways at our January 2nd book discussion session. A thousand thank-yous and mega-mythological-props to Rick and Becky Riordan! All of the Percy Jackson fans here in Mountain Brook are eagerly awaiting The Titan's Curse in May.
