The party was a success. Big thanks to everyone that gave book recommendations to the kids. They loved it!
Twenty-five students showed up eager to talk about reading and celebrate Darth Paper Strikes Back.

You gotta love summer transportaion
YODA SODA!!!
Finally!
Speaker phone chat with Mr. Angleberger
Mr. Angleberger tried to Skype with us, but his computer was not cooperating. We were, however, able to chat with him on the phone. As always he was super cool. The kids totally dug it. They were really excited when he announced that their will in fact be a third book, due out next August.
CAN YOU SAY “DARTH PAPER PARTY PART 2!”
Everyone made a Yoda (including me) with help from fifth grader Super-Folder Anna. She is the biggest Tom Angleberger fan I know.
The party was a great way for me to say goodbye to last year’s class and say hello to a new group of readers. I was really nervous, but things came together great.
It looks like a few students are already planning a road trip to Anderson Bookshop in Naperville, IL to meet Tom in person in November.
May the force be with you!
Giveaway winners will be announced after I speak with them.
