All journeys have a starting place.
This is a weekly place to find books and tools
that you may use with readers at the start of their reading journey.
Join in the conversation at #road2reading.
While in the ALA expo hall, I was on the hunt for upcoming books for our #road2reading friends. Here are some of my finds!

Isadora Moon Goes to School by Harriet Muncaster
publishes August 15th
I can't wait to see the finished book - it's supposed to have sparkles on it, which absolutely would have appealed to me as a young reader! This series features a young half fairy - half vampire!
I think our young readers have some great reads ahead of them!
Check out kidlitfrenzy.com too! Alyson posts about a fun new series!
