Tweens have the option of taking a school bus directly from LMS to the library. They will meet in the LMS library after school and catch the bus around 2:20. Once they arrive at the library, the Tweens will have an afternoon snack, discuss their novel, complete an activity, and begin the next selection. Parents can then pick them up here at the public library at 3:30-3:45.
From the Publisher
For Milo, everything's a bore. When a mysterious tollbooth appears in his room, he drives through only because he's got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and goes up against the dastardly Discord and Dynne. By the time Milo and Tock set off toward the Mountains of Ignorance to rescue the twin Princesses< Rhyme and Reason, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it's exciting beyond his wildest dreams...
A journey through a land where Milo learns the importance of words and numbers provides a cure for his boredom.
