Durham Herald-Sun: “Books in summer: rocket ships, life rafts, and superfood”

Benay Hicks

“That’s IT! The book I’ve always wanted!”

James practically dove across the table to snatch a copy of the graphic novel “Bone,” peeking out from a sea of books in his school’s library. He hugged it for a split second, then tucked it victoriously into his string backpack. It and nine other books that James had chosen would go home with him, to keep forever and to help him through the precarious long weeks of summer.
