Virtual Read Aloud
Current Read Aloud: The Inheritance Games, by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
NEW READ ALOUD, Starting, Tuesday, December 1! Join Mrs. O’C as she reads The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. A suspenseful romp where new (and unexpected) heiress Avery Grambs must navigate through the dark, puzzle-filled world of eccentric billionaire Tobias Hawthorne avoiding his many family members who feel they are the rightful heirs. This one is solidly YA with some language, mild violence, and mature themes.
Join Mrs. O’C every day at 3pm on FB Live (or whenever works for you since the videos will be saved) to listen to this thrilling read-aloud.
