We Have A Quick Response!

Hey, evryone, Carl here. Our new friend and fellow reader guy Aaron read the post belowand got his mom Michelle to help put up a review of a Star Wars graphic novel. Let's hear him:

My name is Aaron and I’m 8 years old. I love the book Star Wars Clone Wars Adventures Volume 7. It is like a comic book with 4 stories in it.In one of the stories Padme becomes a spy. It turns out pretty good for Padme in the end.In another story a battle droid tells Obi Wan and Anakin to run, which they did. Then giant monsters attack them. The funny part is at the end of the story when a battle droid tells them to run again. They were sort of (gulp) scared.In another story these three friends rob a bank guarded by clones. They pretend to BE clones so they can steal the money.There’s one story left. A Jedi named Blizzard Swan has a green light saber. He captures a guy with six eyes. The guy with six eyes doesn’t have a name, and Blizzard Swan doesn’t speak a word.
(my mom is using her identity to post this comment)

Thanks, Aaron! I like the Star Wars: Clone Wars graphic novels too. So does my coworker Bill (or Darth Bill, as he likes to be known). I sure Master Jedi Zack out at the Matthews library does too. This one looks really good--I've got to see if the library has a copy. Don't forget to pick up your free book at the Imaginon or Matthews library.
PS--since your mom was so good to help you out, we'll give her the greatest honor we can bestow and make her an HONORARY GUY!!!

Here's How Our Blog Works

If you don't know how to post comments or reviews to our blog or if you want to read what we and other boys have written, here's what you do:

1. Every post has a place underneath it that says "Comments". Click on it and it will take you to a place in which you can write something. When you're done, click on a way to identify yourself. You don't have to create a Blogger/Google account (unless you already have one); you can click on "Name/URL" or even "Anonymous." Then click "Publish Your Comment." We try to get your comments and reviews posted right away, but sometimes we get busy with other duties. So, if you don't see your comment right away, don't panic. We'll post it soon.

Don't forget--any boy can get a free book the first time he writes a review. If you live too far away to come to the Myers Park library, go ahead and write to us anyway. We'll try to find a way to get a book to you. Besides, all the other boys out there would love to hear from you.

When you tell us about a book, please give the title, author, what the book is about, and why you did or didn't like it.

2. Blogs go "front to back"; that is, the newest post comes up first and the older ones are put further back. You click on the "Blog Archive" to read older articles. The posts for this month have the titles listed. You can click on other months to catch our other posts. (Our introduction is in June of 2007; if you're new to this blog, you might look it up.)

3. Underneath each post you'll see a line that says "Labels" and several other words such as "graphic novels" or "Andrew Clements." These extra words are links to a subject; for instance, if you clicked on "graphic novels," it would pull up all the posts about graphic novels. There's also a section below on some of our best posts on the most popular subjects

4. Did you notice that the posts from last year don't show up month by month as they did before this year? If you click on the triangle next to the previous years, the months will drop down and you can go back and see what we and your fellow readers have written.

The Iron Guy's Review Policy

1. Since the Iron Guy works for the terrific Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I review only books that the library already has or will get soon.
2. If you are an author or publisher or agent and think you have a book that boys will go crazy over, please leave me a comment (with your email address so I can contact you) under any post. I will look and see if we have the book. If not, and if the book looks good, I will contact Those Who Order Books and see if CML would be interested. (Please note--CML does not usually order self-published books) PLEASE do not just send me a book! I appreciate the offer but but first I want to see if CML has it or will get it soon.
