What is Book Stars?

Book Stars is an online website featuring reviews of books that Strawberry Point School students are reading and might want to read. Dee Kauer, our librarian, and Ms. Graham, the web designer and 4th grade teacher, are working together to create a new way for students to find books that might interest them. Our goal is to inform the school community about all the great books that are available in the school library, the public library and bookstores for Strawberry Point students. We will publish the reviews for all to read. The next time you can't think of a good book to read, come to the Book Stars website and see what literary adventure awaits you! All are encouraged to participate!
