Get Wonderstruck!

It's Wonderstruck Week! We have been telling you and telling you about Brian Selznick's new book called Wonderstruck, and now it is finally almost here. You can see Mr. Selznick himself talking about the book in this video. Doesn’t this book sound so cool?

Tuesday, September 13 is the release date, and to celebrate, we want everyone's STACKS Profiles to "get Wonderstruck!"

Here's what you do:

1. Log in to your STACKS Profile, or create one if you haven't already.
2. Change your mood to Wonderstruck.
3. Tell your friends!

Wouldn't it be cool if every single person on the STACKS were in a Wonderstruck mood for Wonderstruck Week?! Tell everybody you know, and let's see if we can do it!

Write On! Pet Writing Prompt

Howdy, Splotters! Welcome to our ongoing segment of Writing Prompts made by. . . YOU. Each week we pick a Writing Prompt to feature in Write On, and this week’s prompt is a two-parter.

First, Mysterygirl123 asks:
Do you have any pets? Cat or dog, or any other animal? If you don't have any pets, what pet would you love to have?

Then Anna asks:
If your pets could talk, what would they say? (Your dog would be like, “You people don't understand what these collars feel like -- I'm choking here!”)

I don’t have a pet now, but if I did, I would want a dog. . . one that preferably could take care of itself. And I would love for it to compliment me frequently, like “Woof – you're so smart. And pretty. And wonderful.” It would be great whenever I needed a pick-me-up.

What are your answers for Mysterygirl123 and Anna? Let us know in the Comments below!
