The Ghosts of Tupelo Landing: Book Review


The Ghosts of Tupelo Landing
A 2015-2016 Texas Bluebonnet Nominee

I just finished reading The Ghosts of Tupelo Landing and absolutely loved it! It was definitely a page-turner that I couldn't put it down. I ended up finishing it in two days! This story takes place in a small town called Tupelo Landing and the main characters are Mo and Dale who run a "detective agency". The story is set around the selling of an old inn that is said to be haunted by a ghost. When Mo's parents purchase the inn with all of their hard earned cash the adventure begins. From renovating the inn to meeting a ghost named Nellie, this story is full of mystery and fun. If you love suspense with a touch of humor then this book is for you! I highly recommend it!

Michael Northrop's visit!

On Monday, Michael Northrop came to visit Isbell! The students loved learning about his life and his challenges as a reader when he was younger. He life story was very relate-able and something that the kids could connect with. In addition to learning about his life, we got to learn about his writing process and more about his new book Tombquest. The kids are super excited to get their hands on his books and some of them even visited him at his signing at Barnes and Noble. Check out the pictures below!
