Jaden Gets His Book! Another Review! And You Can Call Me Al!

That's right; our new friend and book reviewer Jaden got his free book for writing a review of Treasure Fever (you can see it in the last post) Here he is, accepting his well-deserved reward:

As you can see, he's surrounded by the two coolest guys on the planet. Jaden has another talent--making the world's greatest fish face.

Very impressive!

We also have another review from anonymous:

The title of the book is Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow City of Gold. The Author is Robb Kidd. Exiting!!! The book is about pirates on a invisible ship. They were looking for 2 gems and a amulet. They found them at a jewelry store in New Orleans. Bye for now .... keep reading guys!!!

Sounds good, anonymous! Bill really likes these Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow books. If you want to see more reviews of Jack Sparrow books, click on the Jack Sparrow tab that is under this post. We put tabs like this on almost all our posts so you can link to other reviews or info. For instance, whenever we write about Percy Jackson or Harry Potter, you'd see a tab with those names under the post. Go to some of our older posts and see.

And, last of all, our new friend, author Alison Hart, expresses her undying gratitude for her Honorary Guy certificate:

I will treasure my golden GUYS RULE award forever!

Thank You,

Alison (I mean Al)

You are so welcome! Al--what a fitting name for an Honorary Guy!

As anonymous said, "Keep reading, guys!"

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.
