Many Thanks For Visiting Bliven Books!
One of the objectives of every MCPS student is to read 20 self-selected books each school year. In order to assist students in reaching that goal, I have created this Wiki where students can post, track, and write their opinions about the books that they are reading. Students can also see what their friends are reading in order to get some great book suggestions!

 * Look on the left toolbar to see if your book has already been reviewed. If it has, click on that page and then click the edit tab in order to make changes, additions, add links, or add pictures to the page.
 * If your book is not already listed, you are going to create a new page. You will need to email Mrs. Bliven with the title and author of your book. She will update the wiki with a new page with the book title within 24 hours. When the title appears, you will click it and find a blank page. You can then click "EDIT" and upload pictures, video, and write your summary and review.

What Information Could be Included?

 * Title
 * Author
 * Genre
 * Summary (but don't give away too much information)
 * Your opinions
 * Reading level
 * What type of students would enjoy this book?
 * What other books are similar to this one. If you liked....then you'll like....
 * Links to book reviews online, websites to purchase the book
 * Pictures related to the novel
 * Does the novel have a movie adaptation? Watch the movie and write a comparison review. You can include video clips and pictures.

Discussion Board
Students are also free to discuss their favorite books on the discussion board located at the top of the page.


 * Of course that is Mrs. Bliven's handsome son and nephew reading __The Little Engine that Could__.
