Clara's Book Scoop: First Entry

Hey there! This is Clara, the resident "book nerd" and soon-to-be middle-schooler! I am going to give you the "scoop" on the cool books I read these last two weeks.

Of course, the flashlights were located in the bowels of the trailer (lesson learned.) Besides that, things went ver
