September's Fun Fiction Friday celebrates Library Card Sign-Up Month with stories that remind us there's no telling what adventures are waiting between the shelves!

In The Wild Book, thirteen-year-old Juan is sent to spend the summer with his eccentric uncle, who lives in a mysterious library where the books seem to have a life of their own. Juan soon discovers that he's a special kind of reader, and that he's the only one who can find a legendary book that has never been read. It's a magical adventure that celebrates the mystery, wonder, and power of books.

Original Cover

Movie Tie-In Cover

When a book gets turned into a movie, publishers sometimes give it a brand-new cover featuring the movie's cast. Which do you prefer: the original book cover or the movie version? Are you loyal to the cover you first fell in love with, or do you like seeing the movie stars on the cover?

Tell us your pick!
